Abstract
A case of anencephaly is reported which was diagnosed at 32 weeks gestation by ultra-sound despite a family history: AFP, HPL and estriol were normal and the case was referred late. It is suggested that all pregnancies require an ultra-sound scan between 16 and 20 weeks to rule out major fetal anomalies.
