  • Title: Early second-trimester sonographic appearance of occipital haemangioma simulating encephalocele.
    Author: Bronshtein M, Bar-Hava I, Blumenfeld Z.
    Journal: Prenat Diagn; 1992 Aug; 12(8):695-8. PubMed ID: 1438062.
    Abstract:
    Encephalocele is the most common cause of occipital midline extracranial mass associated with hydrocephalus. A case is presented where an occipital extracranial mass associated with hydrocephalus which was detected on second-trimester ultrasound examination turned out to be a haemangioma, a relatively benign lesion. We suggest that haemangioma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of extracranial masses detected prenatally.
