Abstrakt: The meningoceles and encephaloceles of the calvaria and base of the skull are reviewed with regard to origin and local behavior. An additional variant is added to the subgroup of nasopharyngeal cephaloceles, the basioccipital nasopharyngeal cephalocele, which only recently has become recognized. The clinical importance, techniques for its identification, and surgical management are discussed with the aid of a case report. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
