| Popis: | Encephalocele is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the protrusion of intracranial contents through a defect in the skull base or calvarial. In Southeast Asia, frontoethmoidal encephaloceles are more frequently observed compared to their occurrence in Western countries. Typically, frontoethmoidal encephaloceles present as a visible mass adjacent to the nasal region. In this report, we delineate the case of a 9-year-old boy who presented with a palpable mass on the nasal bridge. Subsequent ultrasound and CT scan evaluations identified a nasofrontal defect with a communicating connection to the intracranial compartment. |
