- Abstract
Neural tube defects are common congenital malformations of the central nervous system. The 3 most common neural tube defects are anencephaly, myelomeningocele, and encephalocele. Lipoencephalocele is an extremely uncommon entity with sporadic reports in the literature. We treated a 4-year-old gild with occipital lipoencephalocele. This report presents the clinical presentation and management of the patient along with a review of the relevant literature.
