Prognosis. There is no cure or standard treatment for anencephaly and the prognosis for people is death. Most anencephalic fetuses do not survive birth, accounting for 55% of non-aborted cases. Infants that are not stillborn will usually die within a few hours or days after birth from cardiorespiratory arrest.

Many sudden infant or child deaths will have an inquest. An inquest is an inquiry to confirm who has died, when, where, and to further establish the cause of death. The inquest does not set out to accuse, blame, or comment on anyone's actions. It happens in a coroner's court, which can feel scary.

Affected babies are usually blind, deaf, unconscious, and unable to feel pain. Almost all babies with anencephaly die before birth, although some may survive a few hours or a few days after birth. Anencephaly is likely caused by an interaction between genetic and environmental factors , many of which remain unknown.

Babies can take as long as 20 minutes to reach deep sleep. When initially falling asleep, it's very common for a baby to take 20 minutes to reach deep sleep. If your baby wakes 5-20 minutes after initially falling asleep, it's likely because she did not reach a deep sleep.

Some babies die in the uterus (womb) before they are born (called an intra-uterine fetal death). It can happen during the last half of pregnancy or, more rarely, during the labour and birth, when it is known as intrapartum death. When the baby who has died during labour and birth is born, this is called a stillbirth.

Sleep sacks help babies maintain the correct body temperature without becoming overheated from too many blankets. Babies are at higher risk of sleep-related death if they become overheated. If you do not have a sleep sack, your baby will be warm enough in just footie pajamas.

When a twin dies after the embryonic period of gestation, the water within the twin's tissues, the amniotic fluid, and the placental tissue may be reabsorbed. This results in the flattening of the deceased twin from the pressure of the surviving twin.

Infants should cry or breathe well after delivery. Failure to breathe well will result in hypoxia if the infant is not rapidly resuscitated. Therefore failure to breathe well is an important cause of neonatal death if not managed correctly.
