Primary neurulation can be divided into four stages:

1. Elongation and folding of the neural plate

2. Bending of the neural plate

3. Convergence of the neural folds

4. Closure of the neural tube

Anencephaly 

a failure of the anterior (rostral) portion of the embryonic neural tube (anterior neuropore) to close properly.

OR

a failure to close the neural tube allows the forebrain to remain in contact with amniotic fluid and subsequently degenerate.
