“…Vision impairment may occur in cases of frontoethmoidal encephalocele due to optic nerve and eye socket involvement [18, 19]. However, in the present case, the cause of impaired vision was the large frontal mass that partially covered the eyes.…”

Introduction: Primary encephalocele is a rare deformity that is challenging for the neurosurgeon. It requires a multidisciplinary team for adequate reconstructive surgery. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 6-month-old African boy who presented with a frontoethmoidal encephalocele; we present a technical description of the surgical procedure, using no implant. Discussion/Conclusion: The postoperative evolution of the boy was uneventful, with a good clinical result at the follow-up.

“…In addition to traumatic encephaloceles, congenital and idiopathic intraorbital encephaloceles have also been reported to cause pulsatile exophthalmos. 6,9,10) A 25-year-old patient suffering from neurofibromatosis localized in the cranio-orbital region presented with the main symptom of right pulsating exophthalmos caused by herniation of the fronto-temporal lobe through a defect of the greater wing of the sphenoid. 6) The natural history of the evolution of skull base defects is controversial.…”

A 25-year-old man presented with an intraorbital encephalocele manifesting as progressive left pulsatile exophthalmos. He had a history of frontal lobe contusion from a motorbike accident 10 years before the onset of the symptom. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an ovalshaped defect in the left orbital roof with an underlying intracranial cystic lesion, herniated into the orbit. Intraoperative findings included disruption of the dura mater around the bony defect. The loculated arachnoid membrane and protruding brain tissue were excised with primary dural closure and reconstructive cranioplasty with a titanium mesh. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the pulsatile proptosis disappeared immediately after the procedure. Intracranial cyst may be important in the development of progressive pulsatile exophthalmos and intraorbital encephalocele.

“…An encephalocele is a protrusion of brain tissue through a congenital fissure in the skull with an incidence of 0.3 to 0.7 cases per 1000 births [33]. Frontal basal encephaloceles are congenital malformations in which brain parenchyma protrudes through a bony defect in the cribriform plate and sphenoid bone.…”

This thesis is organized into three major chapters: Chapter One, Chapter Two and Chapter Three. Chapter One contains an introduction, and a literature review of a compressive optic neuropathy (CON), with a focus on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and pattern evoked electroretinogram (pERG) as diagnostic tools for CON. The second chapter contains my research, presented in the form of a manuscript which is submitted to the journal Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science. Chapter three contains a general discussion of my results, general conclusions, and proposed future work. The thesis is concluded with a list of references followed by acknowledgments.
