AB Malformation  characterized  by  cerebral  anomalies  and  a  median  skull  gap  originating  from  the  nasal  root,  orbits,  or  forehead  (sincipital  encephalocele),  or  the  skull  base  or  occiput  (occipital  encephalocele),  allowing  cerebrospinal  fluid  and/or  brain  to  herniate.  The  encephalocele  itself  is  defined  as  a  herniation  of  part  of  the  cranial  contents  through  this  skull  defect.  It  may  contain  meninges  (meningocele),  meninges  and  brain  (meningoencephalocele),  or  meninges,  brain,  and  ventricle  (meningoencephalocystocele).
