Abstract
Encephalocele are not uncommon but giant encephaloceles are rare lesions. Giant encephalocele mean they are larger than the head. These defects in the formation of the cranium are often associated with congenital anomalies of the brain and/or meninges. The defect is often on the squamous part of the occipital bone and may include the posterior part of the foramen magnum They contain herniated cranial contents inside the skin covering sac through congenital defect in the skull bone. Because of their enormous size they create a surgical challenge. Here we are reporting a case series of neonatal giant occipital encephalocele.
