Newborn with a posterior skull mass

CT and MR of occiptal menigoencephalocele
Axial CT without contrast of the skull (above left and below left) shows a large primarily low density soft tissue mass in the midline of the posterior skull extruding through a large defect in the posterior skull (above right). Axial T2 MRI of the brain (below right) shows the mass contains a thin amount of neural tissue.

The diagnosis was occipital meningoencephalocele.
