Acalvaria is a rare congenital malformation in which the flat bones of the cranial vault, duramater and associated muscles are absent but the central nervous system is usually unaffected. Acalvaria has usually been described as a fatal anomaly and reports are rare in the Indian literature. We report a living case of acalvaria.
