“…11 They most commonly occur in the occipital region, which accounts for between 80% and 90% of cases. 2,10 The occipital region was also the most common location for our cases of atretic cephaloceles (Figure 1), discovered incidentally, but they may present with seizures, developmental delay, vision impairment, ataxia, microcephaly, spastic paraplegia, and features of raised intracranial pressure; these neurologic manifestations are more frequent in patients with encephalocele. 2 Physical examination usually reveals a skin-covered scalp mass.…”

“…6,11 Overall, the prognosis of these lesions depends on the amount of displaced cerebral tissue, the presence of hydrocephalus, and the presence of other malformations or congenital syndrome. 2,6,10,11 The prognosis is considerably worse if brain tissue is present in the sac. 10 In our study, we found that atretic cephaloceles had a much more favorable prognosis compared to encephaloceles, where severe morbidity was present in both cases.…”

“…while for our two encephaloceles, one had a frontal and one had an occipital location. The clinical presentation for these malformations may vary depending on the size and location, as well as the type of tissue that protrudes through the bone defect, conditions related to the circulation of CSF, and associated malformations or syndromes 2,10. In many instances, they may be asymptomatic and F I G U R E 5 Histopathological features and immunophenotype of a representative case of encephalocele.…”

Background: Encephaloceles are neural tube defects characterized by herniation of meninges, neural tissue and cerebrospinal fluid, while atretic cephaloceles denote a rudimentary connection to the intracranial space with absence of herniated neural tissue and represent an infrequent dermatopathologic diagnosis. Limited reports of these entities confound the challenge in their histopathologic distinction. Accurate classification is important given associated anomalies and neurologic manifestations that impact prognosis. Methods:We describe the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical [glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), S100, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), and somatostatin receptor subtype 2A (SSTR2A)] features in a retrospective series encountered at a single institution between 1994 and 2020.Results: We identified 13 cases classified as atretic cephalocele (n = 11) and encephalocele (n = 2). Hamartomatous changes and multinucleated cells were unique to atretic cephaloceles while myxoid areas were unique to encephaloceles. At least focal staining for SSTRA was seen in all atretic cephaloceles with the majority (87.5%) staining for EMA; negative staining for GFAP and S100 confirmed absence of neural tissue. Encephaloceles were GFAP and S100 positive, and negative for SSTR2 and EMA. Atretic cephaloceles had a favorable prognosis compared to encephaloceles, with severe morbidity present in both encephalocele cases. Conclusion:Our study raises awareness of atretic cephalocele and encephalocele among dermatopathologists and reveals a mutually exclusive immunophenotype that facilitates their distinction for prognostication and management.

“…Ensuring patient safety is the foremost principle in surgery. Neurosurgery, which is a high-technology dependent, high cost and high-risk surgical specialty, is one of the most demanding branches of medicine (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). Professionalism and patient safety cannot be fully ensured by providing only technical skills during neurosurgical residency training (1,10).…”
