Case report
A 23-year-old-woman (G1P0) with unremarkable history was referred to our department at 36 weeks of gestation for a routine ultrasound. Our investigation revealed irregularly shaped skull with solid brain mass protruding anteriorly to the forehead: an anterior cephalocele. No other malformations were seen. Postnatal investigation confirmed the findings. Here are some images that we obtained.
Images 1-5: The images show a mass of the cephalocele protruding out of the fetal face.
