Abstract:
Congenital encephaloceles are rare lesions which are often present at the occipital region. Occasionally, they are encountered anteriorly where they may erode through the base of the skull or through a congenital defect in it and appear as a nasal polyp. We describe a case of an anterior basal encephalocele which presented with hypertelorism and was mistaken for a nasal polyp.
