Cranium Bifidum

چکیده
An infant girl was referred for assessment and management of a large frontal skull defect. She was born, after an uneventful pregnancy, by caesarian section to a 36-year-old mother (G1P1). The procedure was performed electively for a breech presentation. Her antenatal ultrasound had shown no specific abnormalities. The attending pediatrician immediately noted a large bi-frontal (but predominantly left-sided) skull defect confluent with a large anterior fontanelle. The overlying scalp was normal. APGARS were normal and the clinical examination was otherwise unremarkable. Ultrasound confirmed that there was no hydrocephalus and no other intracranial abnormality.

The tumor may have derived from neural crest at the site of rhombencephalic closure. The tumor itself would seem to be a sporadic event, but the cranium...

متن کاملNeural tube defects, maternal cohorts, and age: a pointer to aetiology.
