A small lesion is visible as a midline scalp mass near the posterior vertex. This lesion is associated with a persistent falcine sinus, which passes through a well-defined calvarial defect.

{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/142528/annotated_viewer_json?_c=1697919887\u0026lang=us"}
On ultrasound, we see the bone defect and extracranial lesion with no vascular signal inside.
Case Discussion
These findings are typical appearances of atretic parietal cephalocele.
