ABSTRACT
The case report of a 19 year pregnant woman, whose pregnancy was 13 weeks and
whose fetus was diagnosed with a possible encephalocele through an ultrasound of the
first trimester carried out in "Julian Grimau" Polyclinic from Santiago de Cuba is
described. The parents were referred to the Genetics municipal and provincial centers
where the couple received genetic advice and who decided to interrupt the pregnancy.
The results of the autopsy revealed the presence of a parietooccipital encephalocele.
