pubmed:abstractText
Four cases of primary intranasal encephalocele are presented. Three of the patients had been treated for nasal polyps. One of these three patients presented with persistent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea after fourth a polypectomy, another with recurrent CSF rhinorrhea and bacterial meningitis following a second polypectomy, and the third case with recurrence of meningitis, also following polypectomy. Recurrent bacterial meningitis was the mode of presentation in the fourth case. Encephalocele was the isolated abnormality in three, but the fourth had a degree of associated hypertelorism. The diagnosis of encephalocele should be considered in any patient with a nasal polyp, especially in children and in patients with recurrent bacterial meningitis, with or without rhinorrhea, in the absence of cranial trauma or surgery, or in the absence of external craniospinal anatomical defects.
