Bilateral anteromedial middle cranial fossa defects causing spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea

摘要

Encephaloceles in middle cranial fossa are rare with anteromedial temporosphenoidal variety being the least common of the five types described under this category. [1] To the best of our knowledge, there has been no documented case of bilateral anteromedial encephaloceles with spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea in the literature till date. We discuss two such cases in whom surgical repair was done in a single stage.
