Absence of the bones of the brain part of the skull is a rare congenital disorder, which is characterized by the absence of the bones of the skull that protect the brain. This disorder is usually diagnosed at birth, as the skull appears noticeably smaller than normal and there is a soft spot on the head. As the baby grows, the soft spot may become larger, the head may become misshapen, and the eyes may become sunken. Symptoms can vary depending on the severity of the disorder, and may include seizures, intellectual disability, hearing loss, vision impairment, and behavioral problems. Treatment may include surgery, physical therapy, and medications.
