ABSTRACT
We present the findings in a series of 15 fetuses diagnosed as having a cephalocele. Eleven cephaloceles were located in the occipital region and two each at the vertex and the frontonasal region. Eleven fetuses were diagnosed before 24 weeks' gestation. Nine families opted for an interruption. Of the two fetuses that went to term, one had a benign meningocele and is growing normally at 18 months, the other died in the neonatal period of associated cardiac anomalies. Of the four fetuses diagnosed after 24 weeks, one is normal (after surgery) at 9 months, two are severely handicapped, and one died in the immediate postpartum period.
