Question

Which of the following abnormalities demonstrates a cranial defect? Select one: a. Encephalocele b. Cystic hygroma c. Holoprosencephaly d. Agenesis of the corpus callosum

Answer 1

The correct answer is encephalocele.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cystic hygroma is a malformation in the neck or upper abdominal area and holoprosencephaly is a malformation or alteration in the facial area, not in the cranial area.

The only one where the shape of the skull is altered (mainly the area of the calotte) is the encephalocele.
