    Transsphenoidal encephaloceles are rare congenital midline defects. Diagnosis involves imaging, with surgery for severe symptoms like CSF leaks or respiratory distress.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Pediatrics
    • Congenital Anomalies

    Background:

    • Transsphenoidal encephaloceles are rare congenital anomalies.
    • They often present with multiple cranial midline defects in infants.

    Observation:

    • Suspect in cases of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea, epipharyngeal mass, visual defects, or endocrinologic issues.
    • Midfacial and optic nerve anomalies are key associated features.
    • Plain skull X-rays may show sellar floor absence and soft tissue mass.

    Findings:

    • Computed tomography (CT) scanning confirms the diagnosis.
    • Surgical intervention is considered for persistent cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea.
    • Surgery addresses symptomatic epipharyngeal respiratory distress or neurological deficits.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition and diagnosis are crucial for management.
    • CT scanning is essential for accurate diagnosis.
    • Surgical options exist for significant clinical manifestations.
