Popis: A 4-year-old girl underwent craniofacial reconstruction for giant cystlike encephalocele deriving from the temporo-maxillary region and giving impression of the duplicated head. The case of temporal encephalocele in this report is especially unusual in the extent of encephalocele, the degree to which it had expanded the zygomatic arch, mandible, cranial vault, and the radiologically undetectable bony defect. The use of craniofacial principles in the resection and reconstruction of the temporal encephalocecle are described.
