title: Acquired craniomeningocele in an infant with craniosynostosis: a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Craniosynostosis can affect the skull in various ways. The most common forms are abnormal skull shape and beaten copper pattern, while Lückenschädel (or lacunar skull) is one of the least common forms.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report the case of a 3-month-old Caucasian boy with multiple suture craniosynostosis and with acquired craniomeningocele presenting as a bulging mass in the lateral occipital area.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with multiple suture craniosynostosis and acquired craniomeningocele.
