Soha Zahid et al.

Summary: Encephalocele is a congenital neural tube defect characterized by herniation of cranial contents through a defect in the cranium, with giant encephalocele referring to cases where the size exceeds that of the head. Management of a giant occipital encephalocele poses challenges for anesthesiologists and neurosurgeons, requiring expertise in airway management and careful perioperative planning for a successful outcome.
