|
Encephalomeningocele result from developmental malformation in which brain and meninges are present.
This anomalie usually associated with facial anomalie and may be accompany by other defects at birth or infancy.
The authors experienced a case of encephalomeningocele covered with normal soft tissue on right canthal area, It was accompanied with moderate hypertelorism and drooped nostril deformity of affected side. Histologically, the specimen showed collagenous, hyalinized connective tissue with scattered glial cells.
Many recent surgical approaches have been designed to correct deformites for psychosocial adaptation and anatomical reason.
But difficult problem still remain particulary as to restoring binocular vision to correct hypertelorism.
Authors obtained a good result in correcting deformity from the encephalomeningocele with hypertelorism employing intracranial cranioplasty and canthoplasty.
Now, we describe a brief review of reference on encephalomeningocele.
