Neural tube defects (NTDs) are anomalies of neurulation during fetal. Such birth defects are rare with a global prevalence approximately 1-5 per 1000 births. While spina bifida and anencephaly are the most common NTDs, the occurance of cephaloceles, as a subgroup of cranial defects, is not far behind. A cephalocele is a congenital herniation of intracranial contents through the cranium. There are verious types of a cephalocele, one of which is an atretic cephalocele (AC). ACs differ from other cephaloceles as they consist of dural remnants, fibrous tissue and dysplastic neuronal tissue. While the etiology and embryological basis of ACs are yet to be agreed upon, genetic factors have recently been drawing more attention. We report of a case of an atretic cephalocele.
