Description: Ans. (b) Hydrocephalus.* The scalp of the baby in picture shows a large head with dilated superficial veins diagnostic of hydrocephalus.* In hydrancephaly, the cortical hemispheres are absent or represented by membranous sacs with remnants of frontal, temporal or occipital cortex dispersed over the membrane making survival difficult. Computed tomography scanning demonstrates a preservation of the falx, thalami, and various amounts of the occipital lobes and basal ganglia. Macrocrania or microcrania may be present, or the head circumference may be normal.
