Abstract: Acalvaria is a rare and lethal congenital
malformation characterized by the absence of the cranial vault bones,
dura mater and associated muscles with complete cranial content. We
report a 5-year-old Malian girl seen at 20 months old for facial
dysmorphia, hemiparesis, and a cranial bone defect that improved
progressively.
Keywords: Acalvaria, congenital malformation, Mali, Africa.
