Abstract
Craniofacial encephaloceles are commonly seen birth defects. The incidence is 1 in every 100, 000 live births. Six patients with craniofacial encephaloceles are treated by a combined craniofacial approach. The corrective measure allows reduction of the herniated encephalocele and correction of the craniofacial deformity in the same operation procedure. All cases admitted from May 2013 until June 13, 2014 to Bethel Teaching General Hospital were identified, and data were collected retrospectively, including demographics, clinical events, MRI and or CT scan findings, surgical techniques, complications and outcomes were analyzed using SPSS.
