When the bulging material consists of mainly cerebrospinal fluid, a complete recovery can occur 60-80% of the time. However, the presence of brain tissue in the protruding material can reduce the chances of a complete recovery.
Often, normal brain function is impaired and children with encephaloceles experience delays in development.
Encephaloceles refers to defects in the development of a fetal structure called the neural tube. The tube fails to close completely during development of the fetus.
The exact cause of encephaloceles is not yet known. The disorder is passed on from generation to generation, and is more prevalent in families where there is a history of spina bifida.
Encephaloceles are typically due to abnormal development of the neural tube during pregnancy and cannot be prevented. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle before and during pregnancy, such as taking folic acid supplements, can help reduce the risk of certain birth defects, but encephaloceles specifically are not preventable through lifestyle changes.
