Atelencephaly

Last revised by Ayush Goel on 16 Sep 2014

Atelencephaly (also termed atelencephalic microcephaly) is a rare and extreme disorder with only a handful of published cases. In this anomaly, the derivatives of the telencephalon are absent or dysplastic, while more caudal structures are normal or mildly deformed. It falls under the aprosencephaly/atelencephaly spectrum (AAS) 3.
