Abstract
Cephaloceles are congenital neural tube defect causing herniations of intracranial structures (dura, brous tissue and dysplastic brain tissue)
through a skull defect. Frequently associated with other intracranial anomalies like grey matter heterotopia, Vein of Galen malformations,
Ventriculomegaly, Walker–Warburg syndrome, lobar holoprosencephaly, Dandy–Walker syndrome, hypogenesis of the corpus callosum,
interhemispheric cysts, microphthalmia, and retro-ocular cysts.We are presenting a rare case of persistent embryonic sinus presenting with parietal
cephalocele.
