Cephaloceles: clinical and neuroradiological appearance. Associated cerebral malformations.
Cephaloceles are congenital malformations with herniation of intracranial structures through a defect in the cranium. On the basis of a review of the literature and 31 personal observations the authors discuss the clinical and neuroradiological presentation of their various anatomical locations: sphenoidal, ethmoidal, frontal, occipital and parietal.
