Iniencephaly is a rare malformation characterized by occipital bone defect,cervical dysraphism and retroflexion of fetal head.Because of its lethal prognosis termination of pregnancy is recommended when this condition is diagnosed before viability.Early prenatally diagnosed cases are rare because careful and early ultrasonograhic evaluation is necessary.In this case report we present an iniencephaly early diagnosed by sonography,in which therapeutic abortus was induced and examined after delivery.

Özet
İniensefali, oksipital kemik defekti, servikal disrafizm ve fetal ba şın aşırı retrofleksiyonu ile karakterize nadir görülen bir mal- formasyondur. Prognozunun kötü olmasından dolayı tanı ko- nulduğunda fetal viabilite kazanılmadan gebeliğin sonlan dı rıl - ması düşünülmelidir. Dikkatli ve erken ultrasonografik değer- lendirme gerektirdiğinden erken gebelik döneminde tanı zor olabilmektedir. Bu olgu sunumunda 13. gebelik haftasında tanı koyduğumuz hastayı ve doğum sonrası bulguları tartıştık.
