Azwarizan Abd Halim, Gendeh Balwant Singh, Ramesh Kumar.


Abstract
Nasal meningocele is a herniation of the meninges into the nasal cavity through a defect in the cribriform plate while encephaloce is an extension of intracranial structures outside of the normal confines of the skull. It is one form of a neural tube defect.The basis of the treatment is to close the defect in order to prevent meningitis infection. The endoscopic assisted craniofacial resection is a highly useful surgical technique to avoid the facial scar of lateral rhinotomy and post- operation paranasal sinus infection. This is the first reported case of endoscopic assisted cranio facial resection of frontoethmoidal in a neonate.

Key words: Frontoethmoidal meningocele, meningitis, neonate, endoscopic assisted, craniofacial resection.
