Encephalocele is a birth defect where brain tissue grows through an opening in your newborn’s skull. It’s a type of neural tube defect that happens when the top of the neural tube doesn’t close completely. The condition can be life-threatening, but surgery helps treat it.

Encephalocele is a neural tube defect characterized by sac-like protrusions of the brain and the membranes that cover it through openings in the skull. These defects are caused by failure of the neural tube to close completely during fetal development.

Encephalocele is a rare congenital condition where the neural tube does not close and causes a sac-like bulge with brain tissue and spinal fluid that pokes through the skull.

2024年8月21日 · Encephalocele, also known as meningoencephalocele, is a form of neural tube defect and a type of cephalocele where brain tissue and overlying meninges herniate out through a defect in the cranium.

An encephalocele is present at birth and appears as a sac-like protrusion of the brain and membranes through a hole in the skull. Encephaloceles typically form on the face — between the forehead and nose — or at the back of the skull.

What is an encephalocele? An encephalocele is a rare birth defect in which the tissue covering the brain, and a portion of the brain itself, protrude through openings in the skull. It may be accompanied by other craniofacial defects.

An encephalocele is a protrusion of nervous tissue and meninges through a skull defect. Many can be repaired surgically. An encephalocele is caused by incomplete closure of the cranial …

An encephalocele (in-sef-a-luh-seal) is a rare disorder in which the bones of the skull do not close completely. This creates a gap through which cerebral spinal fluid, brain tissue and the meninges (the membrane that covers the brain) can protrude into a sac-like formation.
