  • Title: In-utero Diagnosis of Double Encephalocele - Imaging Features and Review of Literature.
    Author: Shah CK, Lee RY, Jeph S.
    Journal: J Radiol Case Rep; 2021 Dec; 15(12):1-9. PubMed ID: 35519000.
    Abstract:
    Encephalocele is protrusion of brain parenchyma through a defect in the cranium. It is classified into various types based on the defect location: sincipital (fronto-ethmoidal), basal (trans-sphenoidal, spheno-ethmoidal, trans-ethmoidal, and spheno-orbital), occipital and parietal. Double encephaloceles are very rare with only a handful of cases reported in the literature and most of these cases involved either occipital or sub-occipital region. All, except one, cases of double encephaloceles were diagnosed postnatally. We present a case of double encephalocele with parietal and occipital components diagnosed in utero. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of double encephalocele involving the parietal and occipital skull bones diagnosed in-utero.
