Abstract:
Frontoethmoidal encephaloceles are congenital malformations that cause complex deformities in the frontal, orbital, and nasal regions. As the term implies, with frontoethmoidal encephaloceles, intracranial material has herniated through the dural and skull defect. In this report, 21 patients with frontoethmoidal encephalocele operated by a craniofacial team are presented, and accompanying anomalies, results, and complications are discussed.
