Hello,
There are very high chances of still birth of such baby with brain anomaly. It would be best recommended to send the details of the baby ultrasound report with plates so that better precised guidelines can be figured out to comment further. Till that time, I can say that decision to continue pregnancy till terms is a challenging decision rather than thinking of baby surgery at birth.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
