Abstract

Herniation of the brain tissue with or without meninges througha defect in the calvarium is defined as encephalocele. Most commonly it is seen in the occipital region, the temporal encephalocele constitutes of only 1% of all cases of encephalocele. A 33-year-old woman gravida 5, parity 2, applied to our hospital withthe complaint of low back pain at 38+5 weeks of gestation. Onsonographic examination a single viable male fetus appropriatefor 38 weeks of gestation was detected. In the calvarium of thefetus a 3x4cm mass protruding from the left temporo-parietalregion was also detected. Small amount of brain tissue was identified in this mass. Any other fetal extracranial congenital malformations were not detected. Diagnosis of a temporo-parietalencephalocele was made. Encephaloceles are generally proneto be localized at occipital and anterior region of the calvarium.Temporo-parietal location is very rare in the literature. Two dimensional (2D) ultrasound catches nearly 80% of encephaloceles. Management of encephaloceles depends on the location andsize of them. The size of the bulging brain tissue and associatedlethal anomalies play role in the decision for the termination ofpregnancy. If the brain tissue in the sac is small then the prognosis becomes promising as we expect to be in our case.

Özet

Beyin dokusunun meninkslerle veya değil, kafatasındaki bir defektten fıtıklaşması ensefalosel olarak tanımlanır. Çoğunlukla oksipital bölgede görülür, temporal ensefalosel tüm ensefalosellerin yalnızca %1’ini oluşturur. Otuz üç yaşında bir kadın, gravida 5, parite 2, 38 hafta 5 günlük gebeliği mevcutken bel ağrısı ile hastanemize başvurdu. Ultrasonografisinde 38 hafta ile uyumlu tekil, canlı, erkek fetus saptandı. Fetusun kafatasında sol temporoparietal bölgeden protrude olan 3x4cm’lik kitle saptandı. Kitle içinde az miktarda beyin dokusu saptandı. Başka bir extrakranyal kongenital malformasyon saptanmadı. Temporo-parietal ensefalosel tanısı koyuldu. Ensefaloseller genellikle kafatasının oksipital veya anterior bölgesinde olmaya meyillidirler. Temporo-parietal yerleşim literatürde oldukça enderdir. İki boyutlu ultrason ensefalosellerin yaklaşık %80’ini yakalar. Ensefalosellerin yönetimi yerleşim ve boyutlarına bağlıdır. Gebeliğin sonlandırılması kararında, taşan beyin dokusunun boyutu ve eşlik eden ölümcül anomaliler rol oynar. Kesedeki beyin dokusu küçük ise, o zaman prognoz olgumuzda olmasını beklediğimiz gibi umut verici olur
