ABSTRACT
Encephaloceles are rare Lesions. These defects in the formation of the cranium are often associated with congenital anomalies of the brain and/or meninges. The defect is often in the squamous part of the occipital bone and may include the posterior part of the foramen magnum. When the defect is small, usually only the meninges herniate and the anomaly is a cranial meningocele, or cranium bifidum with meningocele . Here we present a case of a six month baby who presented with progressive swelling in Occipital region.
