Abstract: Hydranencephaly is a congenital neurodevelopmental anomaly in which there is an absence of the cerebral hemispheres and intact infratentorial structures. Diagnosis can be made prenatally or postnatally using ultrasound, CT, or MRI.

We reported a case of newborn hydranencephaly in 1 day old neonate with macrocephaly.
