title: Adeloye-Odeku disease: an African disease in the Indian child?
abstract: The "Adeloye-Odeku disease" or congenital dermoid cysts over the     anterior fontanelle, is a rare congenital disorder of children initially     described in Nigeria. It has been rarely reported in the Indian population (3     cases in 2 reports). These rare lesions are operated on by neurosurgeons in view     of their location and differential diagnoses. We present two infants with the     condition and a comprehensive review of the literature on pubmed using six     common phrases used to describe this condition. The review was undertaken to     analyze the reasons for the paucity of cases from the Indian sub-continent. The     ethnicity, differential diagnosis, radiological features and management is     discussed.
