Abstract
Meckel-Gruber syndrome is a congenital disorder characterized by occip ital encephalocele, polydactyly and polycystic kidneys. This rare synd rome has been reported in the literature as incompatible with life. We present the case of a newborn afflicted with the clinical triad of Me ckel-Gruber syndrome. Appropriate treatment instituted in our case led to a good early outcome.
