Summary
This case report details an incidental encephalocoele discovered within the transverse sinus. It emphasizes considering encephalocoele in the differential diagnosis for transverse sinus filling defects.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Radiology
- Pathology
Background:
- Encephalocoeles are typically meningeal and brain herniations through cranial bony defects.
- Occult encephalocoeles through dural defects are rare, with limited literature.
- Incidental findings in neuroimaging require careful consideration of differential diagnoses.

01:18Anatomy of the Brain: Ventricles
11.7K
There are hollow fluid-filled cavities known as ventricles deep inside the human brain. There are two lateral ventricles, one in each cerebral hemisphere, and each has three different projections — the anterior, inferior, and posterior horns visible from the lateral side. A thin membrane called the septum pellucidum separates the two lateral ventricles. The slender third ventricle in the diencephalon is connected to each lateral ventricle via a channel called the interventricular foramen.

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
8.2K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
