Abstract
The authors report their experience with anterior encephalocele, comprising 11 congenital and 11 traumatic cases. Unlike occipital encephaloceles, anterior lesions are usually associated with normal mental development. Surgery aims to restore normal anatomy with repair of the defective dura, bone and skin. Indications, surgical methods and outcome are discussed.Entities:
