Standard name HP_OCCIPITAL_ENCEPHALOCELE
Systematic name M35631
Brief description Occipital encephalocele
Full description or abstract A type of encephalocele (that is, a a protrusion of part of the cranial contents including brain tissue through a congenital opening in the cranium, typically covered with skin or mucous membrane) in the occipital region of the skull.
