Frontoethmoidal encephaloceles can be recognized as a facial mass covered with normal skin, while basal encephaloceles may cause nasal obstruction or symptoms related to herniation of basal structures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Most registries and epidemiological studies classify encephaloceles using broad categories like frontal, parietal, occipital and sphenoidal. [rarediseases.org]
Pathophysiology
Currently it is unclear if it is a pathogenetic factor of the disease or mere a consequence [19], [1294], [1299] and which exact pathophysiological correlations exist [1291]. [egms.de]

Surgery is performed early in life to prevent progression of the process and prevent damage to the herniated tissue. [chop.edu]
If brain tissue is present, it may be referred to as a meningoencephalocele. [2] When the head size or occipitofrontal circumference is smaller than the herniating sac, then it is termed as giant encephalocele. [3] Prevention [ edit ] It is recommended [en.wikipedia.org]
