Abstract

Two cases of craniolacuna are reported. One is a four month-old male with a meningoencephalocele in the occiput. Skull X-ray films taken at age two days showed craniolacuna. It was not found on the films taken during admission at four months of age, and when hydrocephalus was evident. The other is a five month-old male with a meningocele in the posterior mid-neck. Cranio-lacuna was found at that time and disappeared about five months later. Hydrocephalus developed eventually. Both received operations to remove the masses. A brief review of the related literature is given
