Myelomeningocele is the most frequent form of spinal dysraphism, it represents a congenital anomaly of posterior neuropore closure and its cervical location is rare. The clinical case of a newborn born at the Perinatal Maternal Institute, who presented cervical myelomeningocele with neurological deterioration from birth and a karyotype with Robertsonian translocation, is presented.

The frontal encephalocele represents a rare congenital anomaly of the anterior neuroporous closure, with herniation of the cranial content. We present the clinical case of a newborn born at the Maternal Perinatal Institute, who presented at birth, a frontal bilobed encephalocele, without associated commitment, even in our setting we lack multidisciplinary management guidelines that allow a favorable prognosis and evolution.
