Osteopetrosis is a condition in which there is a defect in bone resorption by osteoclasts. With thickening of the skull and skull base, the cranial capacity becomes compromised and skull foramina gradually occlude, resulting in a wide range of neurological symptoms and signs. We present a case of autosomal dominant osteopetrosis with temporal lobe epilepsy and nasal obstruction due to acquired bifrontal encephaloceles associated with a decreased intracranial capacity. Neurosurgical reconstruction of the frontal skull base alleviated the symptoms of epilepsy and nasal obstruction. |
