Anencephaly with spinal dysraphism, cleft lip and palate and limb reduction defects

Clin Dysmorphol. 1994 Jul;3(3):270-5. doi: 10.1097/00019605-199407000-00016.

Abstract

We report three unrelated fetuses presenting with anencephaly, spinal dysraphism, cleft lip and palate and limb reduction defects. Review of the literature suggests that this association may be more commonly found than previously recognized and may indicate severe disturbance in early embryogenesis.
