| Title | Meningoencephalocele as a rare cause of cerebrospinal fluid fistula during dacryocystorhinostomy. | | Author(s) | Yilmaz YF, Ozcan M, Titiz A, Unal A | | Institution | First ENT Clinic, Ankara Numune Teaching and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey. | | Source | Ophthal Plast Reconstr Surg 2008 May-Jun; 24(3):240-1. | | Abstract | A meningoencephalocele is a herniation of meninges and brain out of the cranial fossa through a bony defect. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage may occur due to a defect in the wall of the meningoencephalocele. The defect may be traumatic, iatrogenic, or may appear spontaneously. In this report, the authors present an unrecognized transethmoidal meningoencephalocele that resulted in a cerebrospinal fluid leak during dacryocystorhinostomy. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
