- In the other group, iniencephaly clausus, the encephalocele is absent.
- The more severe group is iniencephaly apertus, involving the development of an encephalocele.
- While iniencephaly clausus is fatal, KFS is not and can be surgically corrected.
- While anencephaly experiences a partial to total lack of the neurocranium, iniencephaly does not.
- Cervical vertebrae are malformed and reduced in iniencephaly while they are almost normal in anencephaly.
- There are two types of iniencephaly.
- Therefore, it is crucial to correctly diagnose KFS and not mistake it for iniencephaly clausus.
- In anencephaly, the retroflexed head is not covered with skin while in iniencephaly, the retroflexed head is covered with skin entirely.
- The fetal head of Infants born with iniencephaly are hyperextended while the foramen magnum is enlarged and opens through the widened cortex is thinned.
- Sometimes, in the case of iniencephaly apertus, an encephalocele ( sac-like protrusions of the brain through an opening in the cranium ) forms.
- Even though KFS does experience malformed cervical vertebra due to failure of segmentation during early fetal development, there is not retroflexion of the head as seen in iniencephaly.
- Though the iniencephaly is not genetic with its cause unknown, studies have shown that there are certain factors that can increase the risk of mothers giving birth to children with these anomalies.
- Studies have shown that obesity of the mother increases the risk of neural tube disorders such as iniencephaly by 1.7 fold while severe obesity increases the risk by over 3 fold.
- Animal studies have shown that administration of the drugs vinblastine, streptonigrin, triparano, sulfonamide, tetracycline, antihistamines, and antitumor agents to pregnant mothers have resulted in offspring born with iniencephaly.
