Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 6

Abstract

Cephalocele of the petrous apex is considered a rare condition that affects the petrous apex. Our aim is to report a rare case of a petrous apex cephalocele in a 44-year-old. We will discuss her clinical presentation, radiographic imaging, pathological findings and literature review. Because the occurrence of such a condition is rare, we believe that reporting this case would add more information to the existing fund of knowledge.
