TI  - Torcular occipital encephalocele in infant: Report of two cases and review of 
      literature.

AB  - The presence of torcula or sinus in the occipital encephalocele presents a 
      challenge during surgery. However, a detailed study of magnetic resonance image 
      and magnetic resonance venography can aid in preoperative localization of the 
      torcula. Knowing the encephalocele's contents, its relationship with falx cerebri 
      and falx cerebelli, and vigilance during surgery is a sure way to protect neural 
      tissue. Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) may be indicated in torcular encephalocele. 
      Here, authors report two such cases, one presented with ruptured encephalocele 
      with cerebrospinal fluid leak and another case presented six months after birth 
      due to financial constraints. Pertinent literature and management is briefly 
      reviewed.
