Abstract

The analysis of the state of two patients with congenital cerebral hernias was carried out, which made it possible to establish differences in the effect of hernias on the state of the body. In the first case, the hernia is localized in the nasal cavity, and after its removal, the postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage was stopped by a flap of the mucous membrane from the opposite side of the nasal septum. In the second case clinical analysis and computed tomography made it possible to state that the hernia was in the retromaxillary space and did not affect the patient's condition. Computed tomography shows signs of moderate blood pressure on the adjacent formations, and removal of the hernia and stopping the subsequent CSF leakage were impossible. The presented observations demonstrate an ambiguous approach to resolving the issue of surgical intervention in such cases.
