- Abstract
Encephalocele is defined as herniation of the brain tissue from a bone defect in the cranium. It may be congenital, traumatic, tumoural or develop spontaneously. Traumatic fronto-ethmoidal encephalocele is rare and should be kept in mind for patients who have suffered trauma. Early diagnosis is important in terms of preventing life-threatening complications such as meningitis. Encephalocele and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage can be easily determined with basic radiological imaging methods and clinical findings. The computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings are here presented of a case with traumatic encephalocele.
