Tube Closure

Objective. To call attention to a cutaneous marker for neural tube closure defects of the scalp, the "hair collar" sign. This finding consists of a ring of long, dark, coarse hair surrounding a midline scalp nodule. Methods and Results. Four children with small congenital scalp nodules and the hair collar sign were studied from the standpoint of clinical findings, radiologic scans, and histology of the excised nodules. All four had an overlying vascular stain in addition to the hair collar. Patients 1 and 2 were found to have encephaloceles, and one had heterotopic brain tissue. The fourth family refused surgery, but the clinical and radiologic findings were consistent with a diagnosis of atretic encephalocele. One infant had agenesis of the corpus callosum and a Dandy-Walker malformation as associated findings. Conclusions. The "hair collar" sign should alert the pediatrician to the possibility of ectopic neural tissue in the scalp and/or underlying central nervous system malformations.

Abstract Aim: The Dandy-Walker malformation is a rare abnormality of the central nervous system pertaining to the group of cystic malformations. The frequency of occurrence of the malformation ranges from 1:800 to 35,000 live births. The aim of this study is to investigate the Dandy-Walker malformation in two cases – one by autopsy after abortion due to medical indications during the 25th gestational week at The Clinic of Embryo and Fetopathology, Center for Maternity and Neonatology, Tunis, Tunisia, and another case of a 1-year-old infant diagnosed with an acute internal hydrocephalus at The Clinic of Neurosurgery, Medical University Plovdiv, Bulgaria, and to compare the results with those in the literature. Results: Both cases are of an isolated Dandy-Walker malformation without any associated abnormalities of the central nervous system and other organs and systems. After the placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt in the second case, the child’s condition was greatly improved. Conclusion: The question arises whether the prenatal diagnosis of an isolated Dandy-Walker malformation is an indication for pregnancy termination, and who and after what examinations has the right to make this decision, given the favorable outcome after surgical treatment.
