LACUNZA PAREDES, Rommel Omar  and  CORREA LOPEZ, Wilmer. Hydranencephaly the most severe presentation of fetal cerebral stroke: a propos of two cases. Rev. peru. ginecol. obstet. [online]. 2014, vol.60, n.2, pp.183-188. ISSN 2304-5132.

Hydranencephaly is rare brain malformation characterized by complete or partial absence of the cerebral hemispheres, caused by occlusion of the carotid arteries in early stages of pregnancy, associated with multiple possible causal factors. We present two cases with postnatal confirmation and review of the literature.

Keywords : Hydranencephaly; carotid arteries; prenatal diagnosis.
