The case of prenatal detection of spina bifida at 12+3 weeks of gestation is described. Termination of pregnancy was performed at 13+3 weeks. Post-abortion karyotyping revealed triploidy (69XXX). Diagnostic tools for early detection of neural tube defects in the 1st trimester of gestation and subsequent appropriate management of pregnancy are discussed.

An extremely rare case of sirenomelia in dicephalic parapagus twins discordant for anencephaly and spina bifida that was diagnosed after birth is presented. High incidence of congenital anomalies both with sirenomelia and parapagus twins independently make the prognosis much worse, with additional neural tube defect rendering it almost incompatible with life. Termination of pregnancy is advised when diagnosed in utero. Key words: anencephaly, dicephalic parapagus, spina bifida, sirenomelia

Iniencephaly is a rare neural tube defect that was firstly reported by Saint-Hilaire in 1836. Its incidence ranges from 0.1 to 10 in 10,000 deliveries with higher incidence in females. The most common features present iniencephaly are bifida at the cervical region, defect in the occipital bone and retroflexion of the head on the cervical spine. Here we report a case of a 24 years old second gravida with a history of consanguinity. She presented with a malformed fetus at 22 weeks gestation diagnosed by detailed ultrasonographic anatomy scan as iniencephaly apparatus. Termination of pregnancy was performed vaginally through medical induction by prostaglandins.
