We report a female fetus with occipital encephalocele, dysraphism of the cervical spine, right renal agenesis and Mullerian agenesis. Additional findings included posterior cleft palate, absent left umbilical artery and Meckel's diverticulum. This fetus had the features of MURCS association with occipital encephalocele. This is the second report of encephalocele with MURCS association.
