Abstract
The lacunar skull is a fetal ossification disorder first defined in the early 19th century, commonly associated with spina bifida and meningocele, and rarely seen as an isolated defect. It is characterized by defects on the inner table of the skull, in the form of shallow depressions or deep cavitations causes the skull to appear fenestrated because of mesenchymal dysplasia during intramembranous ossification. These bone defects may be present in any part of the calvarium but most frequently occur in the parietal and frontal bones. Clinically, lacunar skull may be suspected, but the diagnosis usually depends on the roentgenographic appearance. We report a newborn diagnosed with severe lacunar skull defect without any congenital malformations however accompanying severe vitamin D deficiency of maternal origin.
