Due to enencehaly there is no space for eyes to fit .....which is exerting pressure on eyes and making them hyperemic

Due to anencephaly there is no space for the proper existence of the organs. Causing the eyes to bulge out in such a way.

Since a baby diagnosed with Anencephaly or Acrania has no cranial vault there is no pressure from the brain. Typically, this effects the babies eye sockets and they tend to bulge out rather than sink in because of the lack of pressure that the brain creates on the eye sockets. A baby that is born with Acrania or Anencephaly has an open skull where cerebrum tissue can be seen. The remainder of their facial features and body are typical to a healthy developing infant.In some cases other malformations may occur such as cleft palate or club foot.
