Occult spontaneous lateral intrasphenoidal encephalocele: A rare presentation.

Bano, Shahina Chaudhary, Vikas Yadav, Sachchida N Garga, Umesh C

Abstract


Basal encephaloceles are extremely rare congenital malformations. Advanced cross-sectional imaging modalities like computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are necessary for diagnosing the asymptomatic, occult basal encephalocele and planning the surgical approach. We present an interesting case of clinically silent right-sided lateral intrasphenoidal encephalocele through a large bony defect.
