  The dysfunction of the lower cranial nerves often leads to worsening of neurological status from poor respiratory function and repeated aspiration pneumonia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The surgery is advised to be done as promptly as possible to escape life threatening complications such as central nervous system (CNS) infections, respiratory distress, aspiration pneumonia, irreversible impairment of vagus nerve, and hypothermia [5] [ejns.springeropen.com]

Treatment Treatment Options: Treatment is largely supportive. Attempts at repair of retinal detachments often fail and phthisis bulbi is not uncommon. References [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

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]

Encephaloceles may be associated with brain malformations that can have an effect on the prognosis. The location of the encephalocele greatly impacts the prognosis. [lisette-samisblog.blogspot.com]

Encephalocele Causes The exact etiology of this condition has not been determined by the medical experts yet. As aforementioned, the neural tube fails to close completely during fetal development, causing sac-like protrusions of the meninges. [hxbenefit.com]
