What does the term cerebrocele mean?

Cerebrocele refers to a type of neural tube defect characterized by a herniation of brain tissue through a defect in the skull. This condition can result in a sac-like protrusion that may contain cerebrospinal fluid and brain matter. It is often associated with other congenital malformations and can lead to various neurological complications depending on the extent of the herniation. Treatment typically involves surgical intervention to repair the defect and manage any associated issues.
