Basal encephalocele presenting with monocular visual loss.

M L Monica, E S Connolly, R F Kalil

    Journal of Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology
    |March 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    A young man experienced sudden vision loss due to brain tissue in his ethmoid sinus. Surgical repair restored his sight, highlighting a rare cause of visual impairment.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Ophthalmology
    • Otorhinolaryngology

    Background:

    • Orbital and sinus pathologies can rarely impact vision.
    • Encephaloceles, particularly frontoethmoidal, present diagnostic challenges.

    Observation:

    • A 23-year-old male presented with acute right-eye vision decrease.
    • Head CT revealed a soft tissue density in the right ethmoidal sinus.
    • No facial abnormalities, optic disc issues, or prior head trauma were noted.

    Findings:

    • Surgical decompression identified cerebral cortex within the ethmoid sinus, indicating a frontoethmoidal encephalocele.
    • Neurosurgical repair of the cribriform plate defect and resection of abnormal brain tissue were performed.
    • The patient's vision was successfully restored post-operatively.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering intracranial pathologies in sudden vision loss.
    • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes in frontoethmoidal encephaloceles.
    • Multidisciplinary approaches involving neurosurgery, ophthalmology, and ENT are vital for managing complex sinonasal-neurological conditions.
