Cephaloceles are congenital neural tube defect causing herniations of intracranial structures (dura, brous tissue and dysplastic brain tissue) through a skull defect. Frequently associated with other intracranial anomalies like grey matter heterotopia, Vein of Galen malformations, Ventriculomegaly, Walker–Warburg syndrome, lobar holoprosencephaly, Dandy–Walker syndrome, hypogenesis of the corpus callosum, interhemispheric cysts, microphthalmia, and retro-ocular cysts.We are presenting a rare case of persistent embryonic sinus presenting with parietal cephalocele.

Encephalocele is a form of neural tube defect affecting many children, more common in the occipital regions. The frontoethmoidal encephaloceles (FEE) are rare and the aetiology is unclear since it varies genetically and is linked to multiple reasons. The child with FEE mainly presents with swelling over the bridge of the nose or inner canthus of an eye since birth, with varying degrees of hypertelorism. Here we report a child who has facial asymmetry with FEE. Encephalocele is a defect in the calvarium that causes the cranial contents to protrude outside the natural limits of the skull. It can have meninges (meningocele), brain matter and meninges (meningoencephalocele), or communication with the ventricles. Suwanwela and Suwanwela defined encephaloceles based on the location and form of skull defect as occipital encephaloceles, cranial vault encephaloceles, frontoethmoidal encephaloceles, and basal encephaloceles. The internal skull defect in frontoethmoidal encephalocele (FEE) is in the midline, but the external skull defect may vary in the facial bony structure. 1–3 It is also classified into three subtypes: nasofrontal (NF), naso-ethmoidal (NE), and naso-orbital (NO). These swellings are classified as sessile or pedunculated, and their palpability ranges from robust and rigid to soft and cystic. We present a case of an infant with frontoethmoidal encephaloceles as well as a facial deformity.

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

Neural tube defects (NTDs) arethe most common congenital malformations affecting the brain and spinal cord. Furthermore, meningomyelocele (MMC) is said to be one of the commonest NTDs. Multiple MMC is uncommon and bilobed sac is even rarer, comparatively. In literature, only few such cases have been reported. Here, we present a rare case of bilobed thoracic MMC operated successfully in our department.
