Abstract

Contrast computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging of head and paranasal sinuses showed right medial basifrontal brain parenchyma herniating into right ethmoid cells, right nasal cavity, and posterior nasopharynx through an anterior cranial fossa bone defect extending from posterior part of right cribriform plate to planum sphenoidale. [3] Vessel coagulation or injury during surgery can result in cerebral infarct or hemorrhage. [...]special consideration should be given to these herniating cerebral vessels if they are noticed on imaging or are encountered during encephalocele excision.
