Cranial fissure deformity is a rare disease, which means that the intracranial structure protrudes outward through the skull defect. This paper will reveal four types and potential causes of cranial fissure deformity, and help readers better understand this disease.

Four types

There are four types of cranial fissure deformity: ① meningocele, which only contains meninges and cerebrospinal fluid; ② Meningeal encephalocele, secondary encephalocele but no ventricular component; ③ hydrocephalic encephalocele, some ventricles communicate with the encephalocele cavity; ④ Cystic brain and meninges bulge, brain and ventricles bulge, and there is a cystic cavity between dura mater and brain tissue.

The cause is complicated.

The etiology of cranial fissure deformity is complex, which may be related to the deficiency of some nutrients such as folic acid, or to chromosome and gene mutation. If you or people around you are unfortunate enough to encounter this disease, please be sure to seek the help of a professional doctor.

Multiple complications

Cranial fissure deformity is often accompanied by other congenital malformations, such as hydrocephalus, meningioma, meningioma and so on. If not treated in time, it may lead to serious consequences.

Different preference positions

The prone parts of cranium are different, among which the occipital part accounts for 70%, the top part accounts for 10%, the forehead part accounts for 10%, and the skull base accounts for 10%.
