[Encephaloceles. with special reference to the diagnostic difficulties].

L Ferrante, A Delitala, P Celli

    Rivista Di Neurologia
    |July 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Encephaloceles, or brain hernias, are diagnosed using X-rays, CT scans, and clinical signs. These imaging techniques help identify the bone defect and herniated brain tissue, aiding in diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Pediatric Surgery

    Context:

    • Encephaloceles are congenital herniations of brain tissue through skull defects.
    • Diagnosis presents challenges due to varied locations (occipital, frontal, parietal) and potential associated anomalies.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic approaches for encephaloceles.
    • To highlight the role of various imaging modalities in identifying encephalocele characteristics.

    Summary:

    • Diagnostic methods include X-rays with tomography to show bone gaps.
    • Frontal encephaloceles may present with facial deformities and ectopic tissue.
    • Cerebral angiography, pneumoencephalography, and particularly computerized tomography (CT) are crucial for visualizing herniated brain, hydrocephalus, and bone defects.

    Impact:

    • Accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate surgical planning and management of encephaloceles.
    • Advanced imaging like CT significantly improves the detection and characterization of encephalocele, guiding treatment strategies.
