Abstract |
Transsphenoidal meningoencephalocele is congenital defects in the sphenoid bone through which
meninges and brain tissue have herniated; the defect, located in the midline of the base of the skull,
was first reported by Richter in 1813. The nine cases of transsphenoidal meningoencephalocele have
been reported.
Patients with transsphenoidal meningoencephalocele also may have other midline craniocerebral
and midfacial anomalies, including additional meningoencephalocele hypertelorism, cleft palate, and
abnormalities of the optic nerve and optic disc. Because of the sella turcica in sphenoid bone is usually
affected, the hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction has naturally been occured.
We have experienced a case of transsphenoidal meningoencephalocele in associated with
hypopituitarism and congenital dysplastic optic disc. The diagnosis was established by clinical,
combined pituitary function test and radiologic findings A brief review of literature was made. |
