Abstract

|
|
Purpose: A meningoencephalocele is a congenital malformation involving herniation of the meninges and cerebral tissue through a defect in the skull. For the patient with frontoethmoidal meningoencephalocele with hypertelorism, the removal of the meningoencephalocele without correction of the combined hypertelorism is not enough for getting a good cosmetic appearance. Correction of the hypertelorism is needed for cosmetic problem. We experienced a case of simultaneous correction of frontoethmoidal meningoencephalocele with hypertelorism.
Methods: The meningoencephalocele was removed and the hypertelorism was corrected by central segment technique. The bone defects were filled with autogenous bone dusts. And the nose was reconstructed by a calvarial bone graft.
Results: The patient had a good cosmetic appearance without any neurological complications without serious complications.
Conclusion: We experienced a case of simultaneous correction of frontoethmoidal meningoencephalocele with hypertelorism. And a brief review of related literatures is given.
