Abstract:
Meningo-encephalocoeles of the skull base may present as spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea or acute meningitis. Previous approaches to midline skull base lesions have been either intracranial, via a craniotomy, or by transfacial or endoscopic extracranial approaches. This paper presents an alternative approach to lateral sphenoid sinus encephalocoeles through a Le Fort I osteotomy approach.
