A full-term female baby presented at 24 hours of life at the emergency department with occipital encephalocele, bilateral cleft lip, and cleft palate. She was born to a second gravida mother with no consanguinity between the parents. On examination, encephalocele was 10centimeters x 7centimeters in size with bilateral cleft lip and palate. It presents the opportunity for healthcare professionals to learn about a group of congenital neurological disorders in the content of a rare case presentation and highlights the importance of ultrasonography in the antenatal period for the detection of neural tube defects in the early stage for proper counselling and management. A compulsory prenatal diagnosis of the suspected family should be done by the intervention of the public sector of any country so that we can prevent and avoid abnormal birth.
一名足月女性婴儿在出生后 24 小时因枕部脑膨出、双侧唇裂和腭裂到急诊科就诊。她的母亲为经产妇，无近亲结婚。检查发现，脑膨出大小为 10 厘米 x 7 厘米，伴有双侧唇裂和腭裂。该病例为医疗保健专业人员提供了一个了解一组先天性神经发育障碍的机会，该病例罕见，强调了超声检查在产前检查中的重要性，以便在早期发现神经管缺陷，为适当的咨询和管理提供依据。任何国家的公共部门都应该对疑似家庭进行强制性产前诊断，以预防和避免异常分娩。
