Weichert J, et al. – This study is performed to investigate the attributes of all cases with an antenatally established diagnosis of cephalocele in two tertiary referral centers. In general, the outcome of fetuses with cephaloceles is rather poor as four out of five pregnancies were terminated. The postnatal outcome of all survivors in this cohort was rather determined by localization of the cele and more important by the presence and severity of concomitant malformations than the extent of the lesion.
