Do you know how many births (stillbirth or live birth) and how many deaths in utero? (10. 20. 50%?)

If there is a premature delivery, at what time?: 20, 30,36 weeks? If there is a death in utero, at what time: First, second or third trimester?

I think that a majority can be born (live or stillborn) but I don't have references with statistics about this problem (spontaneous death of anencephaly except the invariably lethality in the newborn period)

It can survive the whole pregnancy. It could also lead to premature delivery due to the development of polyhydramnion.

I have a patient with an anencephallic 12 weeks fetus

For religious reasons ,she don't want a pregnancy termination

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

Thank you for your answers

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.
