Encephalocele is defined as protrusion of cranial contents like meninges and cerebral tissue beyond the normal confines of the skull through a defect in the cranium. It is one form of a neural tube defect as are anencephaly and spina bifida. There are 2 main types of encephalomeningocele, frontoethmoidal and occipital, according to the location of the defect. The frontoethmoidal type defect, which is located in the area of the frontal and ethmoidal bones. The authors present a case of frontonasal encephalocele in a very young child.Journal of National Institute of Neurosciences Bangladesh, 2018;4(1): 58-62

High Incidence

An extremely rare case of sirenomelia in dicephalic parapagus twins discordant for anencephaly and spina bifida that was diagnosed after birth is presented. High incidence of congenital anomalies both with sirenomelia and parapagus twins independently make the prognosis much worse, with additional neural tube defect rendering it almost incompatible with life. Termination of pregnancy is advised when diagnosed in utero. Key words: anencephaly, dicephalic parapagus, spina bifida, sirenomelia

Closure Theory

Abstract Background Triple neural tube defects are rare. To the author’s knowledge, there are only four reported cases available in the literature up to date. Controversies exist with regards to the development of neural tube defects. We revisit the multisite closure theory and try to explain the mechanism of neural tube defects in our case. Case presentation We report a case of one-month-old baby boy who presented to us with three distinct neural tube defects. He had occipital and cervical encephaloceles along with thoracolumbar myelomeningocele accompanied by syrinx and mild hydrocephalus. All the three defects were surgically corrected with good neurological outcome. Conclusion In the multisite model of human neural tube closure, there are only two fusion sites and two neuropores unlike in mouse. This can explain the origin of open neural tube defects including anencephaly and myelomeningocele (as in our case) but cannot account for the development of encephalocele, which appears to be a post neurulation defect.

Rare Association

Jarcho- Levin Syndrome is an eponym that represents a spectrum of short trunk skeletal dysplasia with variable involvement of the vertebrae and ribs. Initialy considered to be lethal, it is now accepted as compatible with life in its milder presentations. Neural tube defect is a rare association in Jarcho-Levin Syndrome. Here we report a case of Jarcho- Levin Syndrome with meningomyelocele in a newborn.J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2015; 33(4): 222-224

Period Of Gestation

Neural tube defect is rare congenital defect of fetus. I have a case of 13 weeks period of gestation with meningomeyelocele came for termination of pregnancy. The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasonography. History suggests that patient had previous neural tube defect baby, non-compliance to folic acid supplements. It is concluded that prenatal counseling, adherence to folic acid supplement and regular follow-up can prevent further complication.
