Abstract:
Adeloye-Odeku disease is composed of dermoid cyst over anterior fontanelle, first described in 1971. We present an 11-year-old girl with a soft, fluctuant swelling over bregma. The lesion content was isointense to cerebrospinal fluid on both T2W and FLAIRW images. There was a lytic area under the lesion, seen on CT. The lesion was totally excised. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. The case was unique; because a fibrous band was observed extending to superior sagittal sinus and it has never been reported before. Although lesions are sub-aponeurotic, because of this kind of fibrous band, a thorough examination with neuroimaging tools is very important for planning of surgery.

Lethal Alleles
Lucien Cuénot discovered lethal alleles in 1905 while studying the inheritance of coat color in mice. The agouti gene is responsible for the color of the coat in mice. This gene codes for an agouti-signaling protein, which is responsible for melanin distribution in mammals. The wild-type allele gives rise to gray-brown coat color in mice, while the mutant allele gives rise to yellow coat color. In addition to coat color, the agouti gene is associated with the yellow...
