Acrania
Here are a bunch of photo's of people with Acrania. Acrania is a rare congenital disorder that occurs in the human fetus in which the flat bones in the cranial vault are either completely or partially absent.[1] The cerebral hemispheres develop completely but abnormally.[1] The condition is frequently, though not always, associated with anencephaly. The fetus is said to suffer from acrania if it meets the following criteria: the fetus should have a perfectly normal facial bone, a normal cervical column but without the fetal skull and a volume of brain tissue equivalent to at least one third of the normal brain size. The one with no head has Acardius acephalus: This type lacks a head, thorax and upper extremity. May be additional malformations in some of the remaining organs. |
