Abstract:
In cases of meningoencephalocele, brain tissue, which is enveloped by the meninges and cerebrospinal fluid, herniates through the skull defect. Atretic cephalocele, on the other hand, is a congenital malformation in which small meningeal and vestigial glial tissue herniates through this defect; a benign nodular lesion is found near the midline of the scalp. Atretic cephalocele can occur in the parietal or occipital area; in cases involving the latter, the prognosis is poor. We report the radiologic findings of two cases of atretic cephalocele confirmed by surgery and pathologic findings.
