Abstract
Encephalocele is a congenital anomaly where intracranial neural structures extrude from the cranium through a bony and/or a dural defect. They are generally located at the midline and can be diagnosed via prenatal ultrasonography (USG). A very limited number of cases have been reported in the literature about lateral encephalocele. In this paper, the authors present a case with congenital lateral encephalocele which was subsequently operated.
