title: Meckel-Gruber syndrome.
abstract: Meckel-Gruber syndrome is a congenital disorder characterized by occipital encephalocele, polydactyly and polycystic kidneys. This rare syndrome has been reported in the literature as incompatible with life. We present the case of a newborn afflicted with the clinical triad of Meckel-Gruber syndrome. Appropriate treatment instituted in our case led to a good early outcome.
