Popis: Summary Two cases of total absence of thecerebral hemispheres associated with arhinencephaly are reported. These infants reached the ages of 20 and 40 days, respectively. The weights of the brains were only 10 and 11 per cent of the normal for the age. The differential diagnosis of subdural hematoma, toxoplasmosis of the brain, hydrocephalus, and total cerebral agenesis is discussed.
