As Holt says, many of these conditions are only of pathologic interest because "they are incompatible with life." Thus the condition of anencephalus, absence of brain, shown in the accompanying illustration meant speedy death to the subject. It is important to recognize meningocele (protrusion of brain membranes through the skull), encephalocele (protrusion of the brain) and hydrencephalocele (protrusion of brain substance, containing a cavity which communicates with the ventricular system). (See illustration.) Microcephalus, congenital hydrocephalus and parencephaly will be considered under different headings.
