Colon atresia and frontal encephalocele: a rare association

Sotirios Siminas et al. J Pediatr Surg. 2011 Dec.

Abstract

The association of colonic atresia with craniofacial anomalies has been well described and probably represents a malformative event that occurs in the early embryonal period. We present a case of an infant with colonic atresia and a frontal encephalocele and believe this to be a newly reported association. We review possible pathogenic mechanisms.
