    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • Anterior encephalocele is a rare congenital malformation involving protrusion of brain tissue through an opening in the skull.
    • The condition exhibits a higher prevalence in Southeast Asia compared to other global regions.
    • Understanding the etiology and optimal surgical management remains critical for improving patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze microscopic abnormalities in surgical specimens of anterior encephalocele.
    • To review demographic and radiographic data of affected individuals.
    • To discuss the embryology, potential etiologies, and surgical treatment of anterior encephalocele.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 18 anterior encephalocele cases treated between 1970-1980.
    • Review of existing literature on anterior encephalocele.
    • Detailed examination of surgical specimens, radiographic images, and demographic information.

    Main Results:

    • Anterior encephalocele is notably more common in Southeast Asia.
    • Microscopic abnormalities in surgical specimens were analyzed.
    • The study describes a preferred transcranial, intradural surgical approach.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides insights into the higher incidence of anterior encephalocele in Southeast Asia, suggesting potential ethnographic and geographic links.
    • The findings underscore the importance of a detailed understanding of embryology for defining etiologies.
    • The described surgical approach aims to optimize the management of this complex congenital defect.
