Fig. 1c. Microcephalic Acrauius
This is a condition of acrania with the persistence of a diminutive and imperfectly developed brain. The brain tissue is represented by a soft, flabby mass of variable size which occupies the flattened base of the vaultless cranium. A meningeal-like membrane covers this structure in all cases. In some instances, fluid is present within this tumor-like mass, giving it the form of a cyst with walls of varying thickness. Such cases would more properly come within the subclassification of hydromicrocephalus. There were seven cases of microcephalic acrania in the series (12.3 per cent).

Pages where the terms "Historic" (textbooks, papers, people, recommendations) appear on this site, and sections within pages where this disclaimer appears, indicate that the content and scientific understanding are specific to the time of publication. This means that while some scientific descriptions are still accurate, the terminology and interpretation of the developmental mechanisms reflect the understanding at the time of original publication and those of the preceding periods, these terms, interpretations and recommendations may not reflect our current scientific understanding.
