Figure 5–25. A transabdominal volume was obtained at 16 postmenstrual weeks of a fetus with an ante-
rior encephalocele. This fetus was part of a twin pregnancy; the other fetus was normal. (A), (B) Volume displayed using the tomographic feature. In (A), median as well as parasagittal sections of the face are seen, showing an anterior facial mass (encephalocele). The large skull defect ( arrow ) as well as the brain extending into the mass is apparent. In (B), the orbits ( small arrows ) are seen to be widely separated by the encephalocele. (C) The surface rendering of the face reveals an abnormality with a large irregular mass (encephalocele) between the eyes.
Most fetuses with Meckel-Gruber syndrome are either stillborn or die within the first day of life due to the dys­plastic kidneys that result in oligohydramnios and in turn result in hypoplastic lungs, although prolonged survival up to 28 months has been reported.

reported on a rare case of survival of a child with prenatally diag­nosed Meckel syndrome variant. In that case, the child had an occipital cephalocele and a unilateral multicystic kidney, with the remaining kidney having normal renal function.
Walker-Warburg Syndrome (Lissencephaly Type II, HARD (±E) Syndrome)
The descriptive acronym for this syndrome, HARD (±E), refers to the distinguishing features of this entity: hydrocephaly, agyria (lissencephaly), retinal dysplasia, Dandy-Walker malformation, and at times encephalocele. Cephalocele is not considered diag­nostic for Walker-Warburg syndrome and is seen in 26.7% of cases reported.

Walker-Warburg syndrome is caused by mutation in the genes encoding protein O-mannosyltransferase-1 (POMT1); and -2 (POMT2; gene map locus 14q24.3, 9q34.1, 9q31, 22q12.3-q13.1, 19q13.3). The prognosis of newborns with the syndrome is dismal

Knobloch is a rare syndrome characterized by vitreoretinal degeneration and occipital encephalocele. This automosal syndrome is caused by mutation in the collagen XVIII, alpha-1 polypeptide ( COL18A1 gene; gene map locus

21q22.3). The encephalocele is mild and contains only a small amount of dysplastic glial or neuronal tissue. Usually there is normal cognitive development; however, eye pathology may be severe.

Sonographic Diagnosis
The sonographic appearance of an occipital cephalocele is that of a sac-like structure adjacent to the fetal head. The cephaloceles show a range in size not only of the skull defect but also of the cephalocele sac itself. The size of the cephalocele may range from a few millimeters to a mass exceeding the size of the normal cranial vault. In infants the size distribution of cephaloceles are as fol­lows: 16% are >20 cm, 14% are between 15 and 20 cm, 12% are between 10 and 15 cm, 30% are between 5 and 10 cm, and 28% are <5 cm. and BPD may be significantly smaller than expected for the fetal age. Microcephaly was reported to occur in 9% to 24% of cases, in 47% of in utero cases. agenesis of the corpus callosum, Dandy-Walker cyst, holoprosencephaly (lobar), and Arnold-Chiari type II malformation. a defect through which the contents of the cephalocele sac communicate with the intracranial portion of the brain structures. The sac may contain brain tissue (encephalo­cele) ( Figure 5–18 ), or it may be sonolucent, containing only CSF (meningocele). 10% to 20% of occipital lesions. often present in the encephalocele sac are the occipital

Hydrocephaly may be present in 20% to 65% of cases as a result of aqueductal stenosis or Chiari III malfor­mation. The corpus callosum is usually present, but it may also be completely or partially missing. The septum pellucidum may be absent in up to 80% of cases.

Other associated malformations that may be apparent are cer­ebellar dysplasia, spinal dysraphism, diastematomyelia, Klippel-Feil deformity, Dandy-Walker malformation, cleft palate, microphthalmia, tracheoesophageal fistula, and cardiac malformations.

reported on the prenatal diagnosis of an occipital encephalocele using TVS at 12 postmenstrual weeks. It is important to note that some of the abnormalities associated with occipital cephaloceles (eg, agenesis of the corpus callosum) may only become sonographically apparent later on, during the late second or third trimester of pregnancy.
The sonographic appearance of an anterior cepha­locele is that of an irregularly shaped mass protruding from the fetal face ( Figures 5–24 , 5–25 , 5–26 , 5–27 , and 5–28 ). Associated anomalies include ocular hypertelor­ism, nasal widening, cleft lip and/or palate, median nasal fissure, spina bifida, agenesis of the corpus callosum,

ventriculomegaly, and microcephaly. diagnosis of an anterior cephalocele includes teratoma, glioma, dermal sinus cyst, facial hemangioma, orbital duplication, and proboscis.
Three-dimensional ultrasound can render the fetal face and can therefore be useful in further evaluating cases in which an anterior cephalocele is present (see Figures 5–25C and 5–28 ). In addition, rendering can be applied to other types of cephalocele (see Figures 5–17C , 5–18 , and 5–19A ). The 3D orthogonal planes as well as the tomographic US imaging display can aid in the exact localization and extent of the cephalocele, as well as in the total evaluation of the intracranial anatomy (see Figures 5–19A , 5–19B, C , and 5–25 ).
There are no published reports of fetuses with atretic meningoceles. We have diagnosed two patients with this condition. In both cases the patients were referred for evaluation because of the presence of a parietal bone defect ( Figure 5–32 ). The visualization of an abnormal falcine artery or an abnormally positioned straight sinus is indicative of an atretic meningocele and helps in the dif­ferential diagnosis.

Risk of Recurrence
The recurrence risk for sporadic (nonsyndromic) occipital cephaloceles is 1% to 3%; however, if the cephalocele is the result of an autosomal recessive condition such as Meckel­Gruber or Walker-Warburg syndrome, the risk is 25%.
Differential Diagnosis
Cephalocele must be distinguished from midline scalp masses, such as cysts, hemangiomas, nuchal tumors, cephalohematoma, cystic teratomas, scalp edema, cystic hygroma, branchiogenic cyst, and fetal hair (during the third trimester).
109 – 114
In all cases in which a cephalocele is suspected, a careful search for the cranial defect and pos­sible associated anomalies must be undertaken.
Prognosis
The prognosis for fetuses with a cephalocele depends on the location, size, and content of the lesion and on the con­current intracranial as well as extracranial malformations ( Table 5–7 ). The small defects can be easily corrected with

commonly due to the severity of the other associated mal­formation or the inability to repair the defect. Meningocele has a lower mortality rate that ranges from 10% to 25%. Disabilities occur in the surviving children. Brown et al reported that 25% of the surviving infants with occipital cephalocele had severe long-term disability, and 38% had a mild handicap. These disabilities occurred in their series

Anterior cephaloceles appear to carry a relatively bet­ter prognosis than other types of cephaloceles. Brown and Sheridan-Pereira
119
found that 42% of children with anterior cephaloceles were normal, 17% had mild handicaps, and 25% had severe handicaps. The primary morbidity in chil­dren with anterior defects is facial disfigurement, anosmia, and visual problems.

Surgical procedures for anterior cephalocele offer only a very limited improvement of the facial deformity, and many of the children who have sur­vived suffer cosmetic facial and eye deformities.

Definition
Spinal dysraphism refers to a defect in which the spine is open with protrusion of the spinal contents through the bony defect. Myelocele and myelomeningocele develop similarly, but the term myelocele refers to a midline plaque of neural tissue (neural placode) that is flush with the sur­face and is not covered by skin. In contrast, the myelom­eningocele is a bulging defect in which the elevated neural plate and meninges are contiguous laterally with the sub­cutaneous tissue. dysraphic defects are closed, and normal skin covers the bony defect ( Figure 5–33 ).
Chiari II malformation is a complex anomaly result­ing from the presence of open spinal dysraphism in which there is herniation of the cerebellar vermis and brainstem through the foramen magnum. of these structures causes effacement of the cisterna magna and abnormal placement of the tentorium; hydrocephaly and reduced amount of extra-axial CSF are usually present.

Pathogenesis
The onset of myelomeningocele is probably around the fourth (postconceptual or postmenstrual) week of gesta­tion at the time of closure of the posterior neural tube.
There are four main theories that have been proposed to explain the varied hindbrain anomalies seen in cases of Chiari II malformation. eloquently discussed these four theories: The first theory is that of Chiari, which attributed the hindbrain herniation

theories. In the unified theory, the Chiari II malformation
