A one-day-old male calf was referred to the clinic in a recumbent position with a large cantaloupe-size swelling attached to the fronto-occipital region of the head. The swelling was nearly rounded in shape, has a diameter of about 20 cm, covered with normal hairy skin and attached to the head by a considerably constricted neck (Fig. 1 & 2). Palpation of the swelling revealed equal fluctuation and presence of a bony rim at the base of the swelling representing a rounded defect at the frontal bone of nearly 2.5 cm in diameter. Preliminary diagnosis was meningocele or encephalocele. Surgery was performed and the fate of treatment was uneventful.
