A Rare Case of Asymptomatic Bilateral Naso-Orbital Meningoencephalocele

Abstract

Meningoencephalocele is a rare pathology. By origin, it can be congenital and acquired. As a rule, congenital menigoencephaloceles are combined with various congenital skull structure anomalies, and are rarely asymptomatic. This pathology is most often solitary, and cases of multiple meningoencephalocele in one patient are extremely rare. The presented clinical case demonstrates an accidental finding: an unusual variant of symmetrically located bilateral naso-orbital meningoencephalocele with asymptomatic course in a 17-year-old patient.
