Abstract

AbstractMeningoencephalocele is a rare condition that results due to defect in skull base causing brain tissue to herniate along with meninges. We present a case of posttraumatic meningoencephalocele in an 11-year-old child, who presented with nasal mass and cerebrospinal fluid leak. A cribriform plate defect was detected on magnetic resonance imaging along with herniation of brain tissue. The big defect was successfully repaired endoscopically in multiple layers and without placement of a lumbar drain, thereby reducing the complications of an open transcranial surgery.
