CONCLUSIONS: MGS and basal encephalocele should always be suspected in cases of midline deficiencies, particularly when ophthalmic signs of strabismus or poor vision are present. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

With a mean age of presentation ranging between 15.5 and 21 months; 3 an encephalocele presenting for the first time in a relatively older individual is a very rare occurrence. [jpma.org.pk]

Two cases of basal encephaloceles are presented (one trans- sphenoidal and one sphenoethmoidal), along with a review of the literature. The relationship between the basal encephaloceles and endocrinological abnormalities is also emphasized. [utsouthwestern.influuent.utsystem.edu]

Myssiorek and Cohen [ 8 ] also emphasized that the diagnostic workup of ISE should comprise sinus radiographic studies, computed tomography scan with contrast and finally excisional biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. [intjem.springeropen.com]

Imaging workup by CT scan tomography and 3 dimensional CT scan and also MRI allows precise study of meningo-encephaloceles, and associated malformations. Pathogenesis, classification and terminology remain a matter of debate. [panafrican-med-journal.com]

With regard to the treatment of basal encephaloceles there still exists a lot of controversion, but most authors agree that it is better to postpone operation until after the age of three because mortality is lower then. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Extracranial defects should be looked for carefully since they may indicate the presence of a specific syndrome with its own prognosis and mode of inheritance. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment and prognosis The prognosis is variable depending on the presence of associated anomalies and presence of microcephaly (carries a much poorer prognosis). [radiopaedia.org]

They are organised into groups, and further divided into clinical, etiological or histopathological sub-types. [orpha.net]

Up to now etiology remains unknown, although we conjecture that it is due to a mutation in TGIF gene. [medsci.org]

Intrasphenoidal encephaloceles (extending into but not through the sphenoid sinus) and true transphenoidal encephaloceles have different morphological and clinical features as well as different etiologies [ 3, 6 ]. [intjem.springeropen.com]

"She will probably have another brain surgery," Ackerman said, explaining that the tissue will never go back but additional surgeries will prevent further seepage and infection. She said 10 to 12 children are born with this type of defect each year. [dailyherald.com]

However it is important to optimize visual acuity to prevent amblyopia. [2] Dilated fundus exams should be done to detect serous retinal detachments that tend to originate in the peripapillary area and extends to the posterior pole. [3] Brain imaging [eyewiki.aao.org]
