Anencephaly is a condition where the superior neural tube fails to close completely, resulting in incomplete development of the brain and skull.

Striae gravidarum refers to stretch marks that can occur during pregnancy, and SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) is a condition where an infant dies inexplicably during sleep.
