Incomplete brain development
Definition
A rare and extremely severe congenital malformation characterized by the incomplete, faulty development or developmental arrest of the encephalon (specifically the cerebral hemispheres and telencephalon) during the embryonic period. This severe structural anomaly is frequently associated with major defects of the neural tube or cranial vault, being studied within clinical teratology.
