[Diagnosis and surgical treatment of meningoencephalocele]
Objective:
To explore the characteristics of symptoms of meningoencephalocele and the selection of the most appropriate surgical approach.
Methods:
From January 1986 to August 1997, 11 cases (frontoethmoidal type 5, basal 5, occipital 1) were retrospectively analyzed.
Results:
Combined intraextracranial approach was applied 11 times and successful in 10 times; simple frontal approach 1 time, unsuccessful, lateral nasal incision 2 times, failed in 1. No recurrence was found in all successful operations during follow-up.
Conclusion:
Combined intra-extracranial approach, which provides excellent exposure and convenient repairing of skull base deficit is an ideal operation for meningoencephalocele.
