    Abstract

    Encephalocele is a birth defect caused by a neural tube defect in which a portion of the brain protrudes through an opening in the skull. This can cause a swelling or sac like protrusion over the affected area. Occipital encephalocele is the most common type and typically appears as a midline swelling over the back of the skull. It is important to diagnose and treat this condition as early as possible to prevent complications and improve outcomes. Treatment may involve surgery to repair the opening in the skull and reposition the protruding brain tissue.
