ABSTRACT
The encephalocele is a major birth defect characterized by herniation of neural tissue
and meninges through a defect in the skull, due to alterations of neural tube closure
occurring in fourth week of pregnancy. Prenatal diagnosis is possible through 2D and
3D ultrasound. We report a case of anterior encephalocele, a rare disease among the
defects of neural tube closure, with diagnosis by 3D and 2D ultrasonography, which
was confirmed at birth by clinical findings and scan.
