Abstract

The defects of the nervous system affect 1 to 10:1000 of the live births and are the most common malformations detected in the fetuses, most of them diagnosed by the ultrasound of the second trimester of gestation. The encephalocele, which consists of herniated brain and/or meninges through a defect in the skull cap, is among the four major defects of neural tube closure during embryonic development. Therefore, the objective of this study was to carry out a review of literature on occipital encephalocele and present a case report of a stillborn child diagnosed with this malformation. For the bibliographic review, national and international databases referring to the period from December 2016 to August 2018 were consulted, as well as a description of clinical and imaging exams as well as the clinical evolution of the patient. Some of the anomalies related to neural tube closure defects, such as the encephalocele, do not present a specific known cause, so it is necessary to disseminate studies exploring this topic in detail.
