Abstract

Encephaloceles are uncommon and can arise from congenital, traumatic, or spontaneous origins. Approximately 80% of all cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrheas are caused by head injuries. Spontaneous or nontraumatic encephaloceles or cerebrospinal fluid leaks have been the least common in most series, accounting for only 3% to 5% of all cerebrospinal fluid leaks. There is a high incidence of meningitis and brain abscess. Thus, early diagnosis is very important. We present an adult patient with uncomplicated nontraumatic cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea that was caused by spontaneous trans-sphenoidal encephalocele.

Özet

Ensefalosel, kranyumdaki bir kemik defektten, beyin dokusunun herniasyonu şeklinde tanımlanmaktadır [1]. Ensefalosellerin en nadir formu bazal ensefaloseldir, bunlar içinde en az rastlanan tip ise transsfenoidal tiptir [1,2]. Semptomlar, lezyonun lokalizasyonu ve boyutuna bağlı olarak değişir. Semptomlardan biri rinoredir [1]. Rinorelerin yaklaşık %80’i kafa travması sonucu gelişir [3,4]. Menenjit ve beyin apsesi gelişimi insidansı (%5-15) yüksek olduğundan rinorenin erken tanısı önemlidir [4,5]. Burada nontravmatik rinore ile gelen, uzun hikayesine rağmen komplike olmayan ve "spontan transsfenoidal ensefalosel” tanısını 5. dekadda alan, nadir olduğunu düşündüğümüz bir olguyu görüntüleme yöntemlerini tartışarak sunuyoruz.
