The encephalocele is a uncommon congenital anomaly where a portion of encephalon protrudes through a cranial orifice (evagination), generally located in the middle line. Clinically, it is characterized by a soft epicranial mass often accompanied or psychomotor disorders, convulsions and vision disorders. This is the case of a newborn diagnosed with parietal atresic encephalomeningocele operated on with a satisfactory evolution.
