Abstract:
A rare case of frontonasal encephalocele associated with a congenital brain tumor is presented. We describe our combined extracranial and intracranial approach to correction of frontonasal encephaloceles. A discussion of frontonasal encephaloceles and neonatal brain tumors follows, with a discussion of embryopathogenesis and surgical correction.
