Hydranencephaly is a fatal condition in which the entire cerebrum is replaced by a large sac containing cerebrospinal fluid.
With hydranencephaly, the falx cerebri may be partially or completely absent, while the brainstem and basal ganglia are maintained and surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid.
There will be no cerebral cortex identified
