    This study details a complex sphenoethmoidal meningocele case in a child, highlighting a novel transpalatinal-transnasal surgical approach for successful meningocele removal and palate defect repair.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Pediatric Neurology
    • Craniofacial Surgery

    Background:

    • Meningoencephaloceles are rare congenital abnormalities involving brain tissue herniation through skull defects.
    • Sphenoethmoidal meningocele is a specific subtype presenting significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    • Associated anomalies, such as palate clefts and agenesis of the corpus callosum, suggest a primary central developmental disturbance.

    Observation:

    • A five-year-old boy presented with a large sphenoethmoidal meningocele (3x3x4 cm).
    • The patient also exhibited a wide median palate cleft, agenesis of the corpus callosum, and median cheiloschisis.
    • Initial attempts at intracranial occlusion of the skull base defect were unsuccessful.

    Findings:

    • A successful surgical outcome was achieved using a transpalatinal-transnasal extradural approach.

  • This involved repositioning the meningocele, removing epipharyngeal mucosa, and securing the bony defect with a tantalum plate.
  • Subsequent closure of the palate cleft was performed by an oral surgeon.

    • Implications:

    • The described transpalatinal-transnasal extradural technique offers a viable alternative for treating complex sphenoethmoidal meningoceles.
    • This approach may be beneficial for managing challenging transsphenoidal meningocele cases.
    • Multidisciplinary collaboration is crucial for managing these complex congenital anomalies.
