A Spheno-orbital Encephalocele with Unilateral Exophthalmos

Abstract

Encephaloceles are rare congenital defects in the skull, through which the meninges and brain tissue have herniated. We report a case of an 11-year-old boy with a spheno-orbital encephalocele that presented with pulsatile exophthalmos. A two-stage operation resulted in a good outcome.
