... or encephalocele should raise suspicion of this disease. It is never reported in neurosurgical literature, possibly due to a lack of clinician familiarity, leading to underdiagnosis and inadequate management. Our patient also had seizures, which is a sporadic presentation of this syndrome. Case Description: Here...

...Pinar Aydin Ozturk; Muhammet Asena; Salim Katar; Unal Ozturk The Meckel-Gruber syndrome is a rare, congenital, and lethal malformation characterized by typical manifestations such as encephalocele, polycystic kidneys, and polydactyly. Herein, we present a case of a patient with the typical triad...

...M. Rumana; N. Khursheed; A. Ramzan Encephaloceles arise from developmental defects in neural tube formation. These lesions contain brain and meninges which herniate through a defect in the skull. These may present as isolated malformations or rarely be associated with brain tumors. We hereby...

... a coincidence. The authors report a clinical series of 4 patients of primary craniosynostosis associated with NTDs treated at their center. Among these 4 cases, 2 had lumbosacral myelomeningocele, 1 frontoethmoidal encephalocele and 1 had occipital encephalocele. Although the co-occurrence of craniosynostosis...

...Yashpal S. Rathore; Deepak Gupta; A.K. Mahapatra Basal encephaloceles are rare, accounting for about 1.5% of all encephaloceles. Transsellar transsphenoidal encephaloceles are the rarest variety of basal encephaloceles. We report a rare case of transsellar transsphenoidal encephalocele managed...

Associated pathologies such as hydrocephalus, tethered cord syndrome and syringomyelia were also surgically treated. Follow-up...

... refused any form of intervention. Conclusion: The presence of meningomyelocele and/or encephaloceles at multiple (two or more) sites along the vertebral axis is a very rare event occurring in <1% of cases. Less than 10 cases have been described in the published literature. This series is the largest so...

..., especially vertebral midline fusion abnormalities, are frequently associated with enteric duplications. We report a case of a newborn with occipital encephalocele, also having a mediastinal enteric duplication cyst. The clinical course of this case is described in detail to emphasize the occurrence of life...

...Ty J. Gluckman; Timothy M. George; David G. McLone Current theory regarding the pathogenesis of encephaloceles suggests that the defect occurs after neurulation is completed in which brain tissue herniates through defective mesodermal elements necessary for skull modeling.
