Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Craniosynostosis can affect the skull in various ways. The most common forms are abnormal skull shape and beaten copper pattern, while Lückenschädel (or lacunar skull) is one of the least common forms. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 3-month-old Caucasian boy with multiple suture craniosynostosis and with acquired craniomeningocele presenting as a bulging mass in the lateral occipital area. CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with multiple suture craniosynostosis and acquired craniomeningocele.
