What INIENCEPHALY means: Iniencephaly - is a rare birth defect caused by improper closure of the neural tube during fetal development. Iniencephaly is in the same family of neural tube defects as spina bifida, but it is more severe. Diagnosis is made immediately after birth because an infant's head is so severely bent backward that the face looks upward. There is no standard treatment for iniencephaly since most infants rarely live longer than a few hours.
