Abstract : Encephalocele is the consequence of an incomplete closure of the cranial cavity. The prognosis depends on the topography and volume of the lesion. The antenatal diagnosis is made during the first trimester ultrasound in 80% of cases. We report two cases of encephalocele diagnosed antenatally by ultrasound in our department and managed immediately at birth by pediatric surgeons and neonatologists.
