A case of a meningoencephalocele (MEC) with rare localisation was observed and the authors make a extensive review of the recent scientific literature. We emphasize the importance of early detection of the defects of the neural tube in order to interrupt the pregnancy. Some of the rare localisations of MEC make the prenatal and postnatal diagnosis of these malformations difficult. We report a case of MEC in a newborn infant, with localisation in the lateral colli region, protruding through a scalp base defect.
观察到一例脑膜脑膨出（MEC）发生在罕见部位，作者对近期科学文献进行了广泛回顾。我们强调早期发现神经管缺陷以便终止妊娠的重要性。MEC的一些罕见部位使得这些畸形的产前和产后诊断变得困难。我们报告一例新生儿脑膜脑膨出病例，病变位于侧颈部区域，通过头皮基部缺损处突出。
