Versorgung okkulter Missbildungen der lateralen Schädelbasis

SUMMARYCranial meningoceles/encephaloceles are congenital malformations characterised by protrusion of the meninges and/or brain parenchyma because of a skull defect. Meningoceles secondary to an intracranial neoplasm have not been reported in the published literature. We report a unique case of a 42-year-old man who presented with a sudden onset of altered sensorium. Transethmoidal meningocele secondary to an intraventricular epidermoid cyst was detected on imaging. BACKGROUND

Versorgung okkulter Missbildungen der lateralen Schädelbasis

Abstract: In all cases of recurrent meningitis caused by agents of the upper airway tract the basic principle should be to search for occult skull base malformations radiologically as well as by sodium fluorescein endoscopy as long as the anomaly is detected.
