Meningocele (M), Brain, Calf.
A defect in the caudodorsal portion of the skull has allowed the meninges to herniate into a large external pouch covered by skin. The pouch contains fluid and is lined by arachnoid and dura, which are continuous with those surrounding the brain. The cerebellum is small, and the occipital cortex truncated. Scale bar = 5 cm.
