    Sincipital meningoencephaloceles, a type of cephalocele, require a multidisciplinary craniofacial approach for treatment. Early surgical intervention is key to minimizing facial growth distortion and ensuring positive patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Craniofacial Surgery
    • Pediatric Neurosurgery
    • Congenital Malformations

    Background:

    • A cephalocele is a cranial defect with herniated contents.
    • Sincipital meningoencephaloceles (fronto-ethmoidal) represent a distinct subtype.
    • The etiology of congenital cephalocele remains unknown.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review patients with cephaloceles, focusing on sincipital meningoencephaloceles.
    • To highlight the unique characteristics and treatment approach for this group.
    • To assess surgical outcomes and impact on facial growth.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 112 patients with cephaloceles.
    • Detailed analysis of 51 patients with sincipital meningoencephaloceles.
    • Preoperative assessment using 3D CT scans and multidisciplinary surgical planning.

    Main Results:

    • Sincipital meningoencephaloceles present distinct demographic and growth-affecting features.
    • Surgical management involved a combined craniofacial approach.
    • All 50 surgically treated patients for fronto-ethmoidal encephalocele survived with minimal complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Congenital cephalocele cause is undetermined.
    • Multidisciplinary surgical intervention is crucial for fronto-ethmoidal meningoencephaloceles.
    • Timely surgery can prevent significant facial growth distortion, with good prognosis.
