Iniencephaly Birth Defects & Depakote

Tweet

This is a rare neural tube defect that results in extreme bending of the head to the spine. The diagnosis can usually be made on antenatal ultrasound scanning but if not will undoubtedly be made immediately after birth because the head is bent backwards and the face looks upwards. Usually the neck is absent. The skin of the face connects directly to the chest and the scalp connect to the upper back. The infant usually will not survive more than a few hours.

If you or a loved one has taken Depakote or another related drug while pregnant and given birth to a child with birth defects such as Iniencephaly, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a lawsuit and we can help.
