“…Though the techniques of endoscopic skull base surgery were carried on to the pediatric population, there has been limited publication on the topic compared to adult literature. There are several case reports outlining the use of endoscopic techniques in the management of congenital meningoencephaloceles [16][17][18][19], benign tumors [20,21], and bony lesions [22]. As juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is exclusive to the adolescent age group, endoscopic management of this lesion is more widely described [15,[23][24][25][26][27][28].…”

“…Disruptions in the normal development of skull base structures may result in meningoencephaloceles ( Figure 3), gliomas, and nasal dermoids. These lesions can be characterized by their location of origin and contents [18,[38][39][40], but all share a common origin in aberrant ectodermal differentiation and/or closure of the neural folds [18].…”

Pathology along the anterior and posterior skull base has long posed challenges to surgeons due to the difficulty accessing these locations and complexity of the surrounding neurovascular anatomy. Initial surgical management of these disorders included open craniofacial approaches and/or craniotomy and these approaches are still utilized today for selected cases. However, advances in the later half of the 20th century in optics, endoscope design, and high definition digital images allowed the development of microscopic and, more recently, endoscopic approaches to the skull base. This technology was initially developed and used in adults, but has been adapted over time for use in the pediatric patient. In this chapter, the salient points regarding pediatric endoscopic skull base surgery will be reviewed to provide the reader a framework for understanding the indications, pertinent anatomy, preoperative evaluation, and intraoperative management of skull base pathology, highlighting challenges and circumstances unique to the pediatric population.

“…Nasal meningoencephaloceles (MEC) are rare intranasal masses, which are characterized by protrusions of intracranial contents into the nasal cavity [1][2][3] . The main forms of MEC are congenital and posttraumatic, but other forms, like spontaneous or iatrogenic, have been described in literature [4][5][6][7] .…”

“…The main forms of MEC are congenital and posttraumatic, but other forms, like spontaneous or iatrogenic, have been described in literature [4][5][6][7] . Related to their location, nasal MEC can be divided into basal and frontoethmoidal types, while the basal type can be furthermore classified into transethmoidal, sphenoethmoidal, transsphenoidal and frontosphenoidal [2][3][4] . Clinical presentation of nasal MEC can vary due to their size and location.…”

Nasal meningoencephaloceles are rare findings, represented by protrusions of intracranial contents into the nasal cavity. They present as unilateral masses, and commonly determine unilateral nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea and non-characteristic headaches.We present the case of a 34-year-old patient diagnosed with a posttraumatic transethmoidal meningoencephalocele. The patient presented with unilateral nasal obstruction, mild headache and episodic watery rhinorrhea. The treatment was endoscopic endonasal surgical excision and repair of the skull base defect, in a mixt ENT-neurosurgical team. Patient follow-up showed no remaining mass or symptoms and normal closure of the skull base defect.
