Fronto-nasal Encephalocele and Hypertelorism in a Newborn: Surgical Management and Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract: Encephalocele is described as a protrusion of cranial contents (meninges and brain tissue) through a congenital or acquired defect of the skull. Congenitalis is due to a multifactorial neural tube defect. In the prenatal period, the diagnosis is made by ultrasound and in the postnatal period by tomography and / or magnetic resonance imaging. The goal of surgical treatment is to reduce brain herniation and obtain a sealed closure of the dura and a proper coverage of the skin. In this paper we describe a case of fronto-nasal encephalocele and hypertelorism and surgical management. Keywords: Encephalocele, Neural tube defect, Hypertelorism, Surgical management.
