An individual organism, typically a fetus or infant, with exencephalia; a medical term for the condition in a specific case.
From exencephalia using the nominative singular suffix common in Latin scientific terminology. The word follows Linnean naming conventions for describing abnormalities.
Linguistically, 'exencephalus' treats a birth defect as if it were a species or named thing—it's a technical noun formed like 'platypus' or 'focus.' This nominalization technique helps doctors discuss rare conditions precisely.
