Abstract
The uncommon variants amongst 619 cases of craniospinal dysraphism have been studied between 1987 to 1993. Lateral cervical meningocele is an extremely rare condition as to date only ten cases are traceable in the world literature. Its pathogenesis is discussed in detail. Similarly, this case of lateral frontal encephalocele is the second such example. Orbital meningocele may be congenital or following trauma to the orbital roof. Besides other unusual locations like the vertex, posterior fontanelle and anterior sacral are also encountered. Thus this paper focuses on the aetiology, clinical presentation and management of uncommon types of craniospinal meningo-encephaloceles.
