Dr. Coquel, according to Roger C. Sanders: STRUCTURAL FETAL ABNORMALITIES, Mosby 1996, p. 17 this:

"Anencephaly; Prognosis: Anencephaly is invariably lethal, with about 50% of cases being stillborn, and the remainder dying in the newborn period."

FYI, I highly recommend Dr. Sanders little book... required for our Web based course "Advance OB Sonography: Genetics and Pathology".

She asks: Is there statistics about how many time an anencephalic fetus can survive in utero or born

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
