Abstract

Encephalocele and craniosynostosis are known separate entities found clinically. While searching for a causal association between them, there has been a proposed justified hypothesis. Yet the two conditions are very rarely found in association. We have happened to find such a rare case which we treated and followed up for establishing the proposed theory of association between the two clinical entities.
