Hernia Cranial-Cerebral Nasoethmoidal

Nasoethmyodal cranial hernia is a term meaning the penetration of brain matter through the bony elements of the base of the skull. The areas of the posterior cranial fossa are most often affected. In most cases, it is caused by congenital abnormalities of the bones of the skull base, their formation or displacement, developmental disorders, or infections in early childhood. Often, a nasal hernia can be a sign of concomitant trauma, although, as a rule, its development is not associated with it. The reasons for the development of a nasoethmoid hernia include weakening and atrophy of the walls of the sinus, its expansion or narrowing, a high crest of the canal

Nasoethmoidal cranial hernia (h. Cerebralis Nasoethmoidialis) is a rare disease and most often occurs in children and adolescents. Hernias can appear at any time in life, and in rare cases, immediately after birth.

The pathology usually manifests itself with a characteristic headache and neurological symptoms, such as palsy of the nerves in the face or the auricular auditory nerve, which are located in the side of the head. Numbness or tingling in the cheeks, tongue, ears and throat, as well as loss of smell or taste are also common signs.

The main cause of a hernia is a congenital pathology of the development of the facial part of the skull and a narrowing of the spinal canal or canals. However, the cause may be trauma to the neck, face and head, surgery or other injuries,
