Adult Nasoethmoidal Encephalocele Corrected by Supraorbitary Approach: Case Report and Review
Encefalocele nasoetmoidal de adulto corrigida por acesso supraorbitário: Relato de caso e revisão de literatura
Abstract
Encephalocele is a protrusion of the central nervous system elements through a defect in the dura mater and in the cranium. The prevalence of encephalocele ranges from 0.08 to 0.5 per 1,000 births. The posterior encephaloceles are more common in North America and Europe, while frontal defect is frequently found in Asia. The present paper describes a 26-year-old male patient presenting with cerebrospinal fluid leak and meningitis symptoms. He was diagnosed with congenital nasoethmoidal encephalocele and treated surgically using a supraorbital approach without complications.
Resumo
Encefalocele é definida como uma protrusão dos elementos do sistema nervoso central por um defeito localizado na dura máter no crânio. Sua prevalência apresenta-se entre 0.08 e 0.5 casos a cada 1.000 nascimentos. As encefaloceles posteriores são mais comuns na América do Norte e na Europa, já os defeitos frontais são frequentemente encontrados na Ásia. O presente artigo descreve o caso de um paciente do sexo masculino de 26 anos de idade com quadro de fístula liquórica nasal associada a meningite de repetição. Ele foi diagnosticado com encefalocele nasoetmoidal congênita, e tratado de forma cirúrgica com um acesso via supraorbital, sendo realizada a correção completa da falha sem intercorrências.
