Encephalocele means if meninges and brain tissue protrude out of the cranium. There are different types of encephalocele. The occipital encephaloceles are the most common type. Craniocervical junction and upper cervical spine abnormalities can rarely be associated with occipital encephalocele. We discuss this case because there is rare association between torcular encephalocele and proatlas anomalies.
脑膨出是指脑膜和脑组织从颅骨中突出。脑膨出有不同类型。枕部脑膨出是最常见的类型。颅颈交界区和上颈椎异常很少与枕部脑膨出相关。我们讨论这个病例是因为窦汇区脑膨出与寰椎前弓异常之间存在罕见的关联。
