Iniencephaly (Greek: “inoin” meaning nape of neck) is an extremely rare and uniformly lethal form of neural tube defect. We report a case diagnosed in the first trimester using two-dimensional and three-dimensional ultrasound. The diagnosis was confirmed on postnatal autopsy. This case highlights the importance of diagnosing structural abnormalities in the first trimester itself.
