Abstract

Nasal meningoencephalocele (MEC) and meningocele which is mostly congenital, comprises of 10% of all meningoencephalocele. It results from herniation of meninges and brain parenchyma through anterior skull base defect. Meningocele consists of leptomeninges and CSF. Nasal endoscopy, contrast enhance computed tomography (CECT) of nose and paranasal sinuses (PNS), CT cisternography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain aid in diagnosis. Endoscopic endonasal excision of meningocele/meningoencephalocele with repair of skull base defect is the method of choice for its management.
