[Atypical meningocele localization in the new-born. A report on one case (author's transl)]

A case is reported of a new-born infant presenting with a voluminous laterofacial tumor which had literally blown up the right side of the face. The tumor was found to be a meningocele. Treatment was applied in such a way as to cause the least surgical trauma possible and to use the natural flexibility of the tissues in an infant of this age. The rare nature of this localization is emphasized.
