I was reading about rare birth defects recently and was shocked to the pint of tears by all the disorders that can happen to those poor little babies. Please tell me if it is possible to get a prenatal diagnosis of encephalocele? And can babies born with encephalocele survive outside of the uterus?
Prenatal diagnosis for encephalocele?
