5168641013 | A rare neural tube closure defect with characteristics of partial lack of bone fusion resulting in sac-like protrusions of the brain and the membranes that cover it through the openings in the skull. Protruding tissue may be located on any part of the head but most often affects the occipital area. Depending in the size and location, encephalocele are often associated with neurological problems including intellectual disability, seizures, vision impairment, ataxia and hydrocephalus. This disorder is not associated with a polymalformative syndrome. | en | Definition | Active | Case sensitive | SNOMED CT core |
