Cephalocele/Meningocele

---

Figer-1

📄 Report Sample Line- Cephalocele/Meningocele (During First Trimester / NT Screening)
Gray scale imaging of a fetal brain showing a midline extracranial cystic mass extending through a defect in the occipital skull region, consistent with a cephalocele. The intracranial structures appear disrupted at the site of the lesion


Conclussion: 📋 Sonographic features are suggestive of a cephalocele/Meningocele a neural tube defect involving herniation of intracranial contents through a skull defect, most commonly occipital
Recommendation: Recommend urgent referral to fetal medicine for detailed neurosonography and assessment for associated anomalies, including evaluation for Meckel–Gruber syndrome and chromosomal abnormalities. Karyotyping or chromosomal microarray and follow-up imaging including fetal MRI are advised for prognostic and counseling purposes.

Figer-2

📄 Report Sample Line- Cephalocele/Encephalocele (During First Trimester / NT Screening)
Gray scale imaging of a fetal brain showing a midline occipital bony defect with herniation of intracranial brain tissue into a well-defined extracranial mass, consistent with an encephalocele. The cranial vault appears abnormal posteriorly, and the intracranial anatomy is disrupted at the lesion site.


Conclussion: 📋 Sonographic features are consistent with an cephalocele/encephalocele a type of neural tube defect characterized by herniation of brain tissue through a skull defect.
Recommendation: Follow-up with fetal MRI

Figer-3

📄 Report Sample Line- Cephalocele/Meningo-encephalocele (During First Trimester / NT Screening)
Gray scale imaging of a fetal brain showing a posterior skull defect with a complex extracranial mass containing meninges, brain tissue, and an anechoic component suggestive of a dilated ventricular structure, consistent with a meningoencephalocystocele. There is discontinuity of the calvarium in the occipital region, and distortion of intracranial anatomy.


Conclussion: 📋 Features are consistent with a Meningo-encephalocele a severe form of cephalocele involving herniation of meninges, brain tissue, and part of the ventricular system through a skull defect.
Recommendation: Consider second-trimester fetal MRI and multidisciplinary counseling regarding.
