Abstract:
Rudimentary meningocele (RM) is a relatively rare developmental anomaly in which meningotherial elements are found in the skin. We present a case presenting with an annular alopecia over a rudimentary meningocele. Due to the occasional presence of connection or relationship to the central nervous system in RM, knowledge of the various clinical appearances including annular alopecia is clinically important.
