Repair of Temporal Bone Encephalocele following Canal Wall Down Mastoidectomy
We report a rare case of a temporal bone encephalocele after a canal wall down mastoidectomy performed to treat chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma. The patient was treated successfully via an intracranial approach. An enhanced layer-by-layer repair of the encephalocele and skull base deficit was achieved from intradurally to extradurally, using temporalis fascia, nasal septum cartilage, an...
متن کاملA novel method for autograft placement during tegmen repair: the suture "pull-through" technique.
INTRODUCTION Temporal bone encephaloceles and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks are associated with an increased risk of life-threatening intracranial infection. Defects in the floor of the middle cranial fossa are attributed to prior infection, trauma, iatrogenic injury, and increased intracranial pressure. In the temporal bone, intracranial contents most commonly pass through dehiscences in the...
متن کاملTemporal anterior encephalocele.
A 45-year-old woman had complex partial seizures for 25 years with pharmacoresistance for 2 years. EEG showed right temporal epileptiform discharges. MRI revealed atrophy of the right temporal parenchyma (figure, A) herniating toward the pterygomaxillary fossa and the sphenoidal sinus (figure, C). CT demonstrated the bone defect of the sphenoid wing (figure, B) whereas the fusion of both techni...
متن کاملCalcified Middle Cranial Fossa Mass
A 21-year-old male presented for evaluation of transient loss of consciousness and was found to have a hyperdense mass in the left middle fossa. He underwent craniotomy for tumor resection. Intra- and extradural invasion was noted. Gross total resection was achieved. Pathology demonstrated a densely cellular neoplasm with predominately spindle cell morphology in a collagen-containing stroma, ar...
متن کاملPosterior cranial fossa depressed fracture
© 2014 Asian Journal of Neurosurgery | Published by Wolters Kluwer ‐ Medknow small and crowded space and any lesion reducing the volume can elevate the intra-cavitary pressure leading to fourth ventricular compression and hydrocephalus, a mechanism may be responsible for brain stem dysfunction in cases of closed depressed fracture of the posterior fossa. As seen in the present case, early surgi...
