It can be the consequence of a vascular accident, infection, maternal exposure to toxins, or death of a co-twin in a monochorionic pregnancy. The typical US appearance is a large cystic structure replacing the fetal brain, but the brainstem and the thalami are preserved. It is usually identified at midgestation, but it also can occur later in pregnancy.
