Encephalocele

An encephalocele is a congenital neurodevelopmental abnormality in which the brain protrudes through a defect in the skull. This condition may be due to failure of the neural tube to close during embryogenesis.

Symptoms of encephalocele may include headache, seizures, and problems with vision, hearing, and coordination. In some cases, hydrocephalus, an accumulation of fluid in the brain, may occur.

Diagnosis of encephaloceles is carried out using computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment may include surgery to remove the bulge and restore the integrity of the skull.

The prognosis for patients with encephalocele depends on the severity of symptoms and the presence of comorbidities. Some patients may experience significant impairment, but with timely treatment and rehabilitation can achieve a satisfactory quality of life.

**Encephalocele** is a rare congenital disease characterized by the effusion of intracranial contents through a defect in the brain tissue. This is one of the forms of cranial hernia. They are generally classified as intracranial hernias in the sense that the contents of the brain or cerebrospinal fluid leak under pressure through a defect in the lining of the skull into any area in or near the skull. To determine whether the defect is a primary pathology of the brain or the result of neurosurgical intervention, the terms “encephalomyelocele” and “myeloencephalocele” are used. The diagnosis of "encephalhelic" is extremely rare. In most cases, the occipital process has a limited and relatively small diameter. Protrusion above the level of the occipital bone does not cause hydrocephalus, since the cerebrum compensates for the deficiency of cerebrospinal fluid. Some cases may result in cranial nerve palsy, primarily the superior and inferior caudal cranial nerves. This defect is usually observed in young people between the ages of 2 and 5 years. The skull was subsequently sutured with tight sutures to prevent purulent abscesses. In the first year of life, this operation was successful. This was followed by severe cerebral septicemia, which led to the development of spinal paralysis. Subsequently, the boy developed a hematoma
