Encephalocele Animation

During a summer internship with Barbara L. Hoffman, M.D., at UTSouthwestern, I created short educational animations involving several of the subjects of obstetrics, which were eventually published for the McGraw-Hill Access Medicine online library of medical animations. These animations include original artwork and actual ultrasound footage.
Encephalocele “is a neural tube defect characterized by sac-like protrusions of the brain and the membranes that cover it through openings in the skull. These defects are caused by failure of the neural tube to close completely during fetal development.” -Wikipedia
