Abstract Background Encephaloceles are herniation of brain parenchyma through the defect in dura and skull bones. This case report reveals a rare association frontonasal encephalocele, subependymal nodular heterotopias cerebellar dysplasia with review literature. Case presentation Frontonasal encephalocele is entity. We an 18-months-old male child who presented to department pediatrics chief co...

BACKGROUND Basal encephaloceles are rare clinical entities. Intrasphenoidal encephalocele (ISE) is a rare form of basal encephalocele. The clinical presentation is often subtle and may remain undetected. Only a limited number of cases of ISE have been reported, mostly in middle-aged patients who presented with symptoms. Clinical diagnosis and management remain a challenge. Our case reports ISE ...

BACKGROUND Since 1976, 10 cases of intradiploic encephaloceles have been reported in the literature. This case is the first report of a spontaneous intradiploic meningoencephalocele of the frontal bone hypothesized to be secondary to distant head trauma. CASE DESCRIPTION A 60-year-old female with a history of multiple traumatic head injuries as a child presenting with new onset generalized to...

Postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea after septoplasty is a known entity resulting from errors in surgical technique and improper handling of the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone. When these occur, urgent management is necessary to prevent deleterious sequelae such as meningitis, intracranial abscess, and pneumocephalus. Encephaloceles are rare occurrences characterized by ...

Abstract Background Encephaloceles refer to the herniation of intracranial contents through defect in dura and calvarium. This article aims equip radiologists with all necessary information approach a case encephalocele systematic manner report an organized format. Thus reduce reporting time without overlooking any detail. Main text An extensive literature review was performed searching standar...

The neurosurgical treatment of skull base temporal encephalocele for patients with epilepsy is variable. We describe two adult cases of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) with spheno-temporal encephalocele, currently seizure-free for more than two years after anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) and lesionectomy sparing the hippocampus without long-term intracranial electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Heterotopic masses of neuroglial tissue involving non-midline structures, specifically, the middle ear region, are exceptional. The pathogenesis of these lesions and, in particular, their relation to encephaloceles, is uncertain. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS H&E-stained sections from 15 lesions diagnosed as neuroglial heterotopias or encephaloceles involving the middle ear r...

BACKGROUND Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea and encephaloceles are rare complications of craniofacial advancement procedures performed in patients with craniofacial dysostoses (CD) to address the ramifications of their midface hypoplasia including obstructed nasal airway, exorbitism, and impaired mastication. Surgical repair of this CSF rhinorrhea is complicated by occult elevations in intr...
