TY - JOUR TI - Encefalocele frontonasal, reporte de un caso con diagnóstico prenatal PB - Editorial Ciencias Medicas PY - 2016 issn 0138-600X AB - The encephalocele is a major birth defect characterized by herniation of neural tissue and meninges through a defect in the skull, due to alterations of neural tube closure occurring in fourth week of pregnancy. Prenatal diagnosis is possible through 2D and 3D ultrasound. We report a case of anterior encephalocele, a rare disease among the defects of neural tube closure, with diagnosis by 3D and 2D ultrasonography, which was confirmed at birth by clinical findings and scan. © 2016, Editorial Ciencias Medicas.
