Atretic cephalocele: contribution of magnetic resonance imaging in preoperative diagnosis

Pediatr Neurosurg. 2000 Oct;33(4):208-10. doi: 10.1159/000055954.

Abstract

We describe a case of parietal cephalocele. MRI and MR venography were useful for accurate anatomical depiction. We speculate on developmental pathogenesis in the context of the literature available.
