  • Title: Prenatal diagnosis of frontal encephalocele.
    Author: Marinho M, Lourenço C, Nogueira R, Valente F.
    Journal: J Clin Ultrasound; 2020 Nov; 48(9):557-559. PubMed ID: 33031571.
    Abstract:
    Encephalocele is a rare congenital form of neural tube defect characterized by a protrusion of the meninges and cerebral tissue through a skull defect. These defects are classified according to their location: frontal, parietal and occipital, the last one being the most common form of presentation. The prognosis is related to the anatomical site, the volume of the neural contents and the presence of coexisting abnormalities. Most pregnancies are terminated, since the prognosis is poor. We report a case of an isolated fetal frontal encephalocele diagnosed at 21 weeks of gestation.
