Abstract

Meningoencephalocele is an abnormal skull base protrusion of fluid, brain tissue, and meninges that can lead to nasal obstruction, meningitis, and Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea. This condition can be managed operatively through an open craniotomy or a less invasive endoscopic approach. Here, we report a case of an 18-month-old female who presented with a meningoencephalocele that was part of the Sakoda complex, a rare neurosurgical phenomenon consisting of meningoencephalocele, agenesis of the corpus callosum, and cleft lip/palate. The patient was initially treated with the endoscopic transsphenoidal approach with subsequent open craniotomy.
