Hernia Cranio-Cerebral Naso-Frontal-Orbital (H. Cerebralis Nasofrontoorbitalis; Syn.: G. Cranial-Cerebral Nasofronto-orbital, G. Cranial-Cerebral Frontonasorbital)

Hernia of the craniocerebral nasal-fronto-orbital (H. Cerebralis Nasofrontoorbitalis; Syn.: G. Cranio-Cerebral Nasofronto-orbital, G. Cranial-Cerebral Frontonasorbital)

Nasofrontoorbital cranial hernia (H. Cerebralis Nasofrontoorbitalis) is a rare and complex pathological condition that is characterized by a combination of nasofrontal and nasoorbital hernia of the cranial region. Synonyms for this condition are cranial nasofronto-orbital hernia and cranial frontonasal orbital hernia.

A cranial nasofrontal orbital hernia is a protrusion of brain tissue and its membranes through defects in the area of ​​the nose, forehead and orbit. This condition may be congenital or acquired due to injury or surgery.

The causes of the development of a cranial nasal-frontal-orbital hernia can be various factors, such as congenital malformations, genetic disorders, head injuries, infections and tumors. The main symptoms of this condition may include headaches, blurred vision, swelling in the face and eyes, increased sensitivity to light, and neurological disorders.

Diagnosis of a cranial nasofrontal orbital hernia involves a clinical examination, neuroimaging studies (eg, MRI or CT), and consultation with specialists such as a neurosurgeon and ophthalmologist.

Treatment of a cranial nasal-frontal-orbital hernia usually requires surgical intervention. The purpose of the operation is to restore the anatomical integrity of the skull and meninges, as well as to eliminate defects in the nasal orbital region. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of each patient and the complications associated with this pathology.

After surgery, patients may require a rehabilitation period, including specialist supervision, physical therapy and regular consultations. The prognosis depends on many factors, including the patient's age, the presence of complications, and the timeliness of diagnosis and treatment.

Nasofrontal orbital cranial hernia is a serious condition that requires an integrated approach to diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation. Early consultation with a doctor and timely surgery can significantly increase the chances of a successful recovery and improve the patient’s quality of life.

In conclusion, cranial hernia nasofrontoorbitalis (H. Cerebralis Nasofrontoorbitalis) is a complex pathological condition combining nasofrontal and nasoorbital hernia of the cranial region. It requires detailed diagnosis and surgical intervention to restore anatomical integrity and normalize the function of the brain and eyes. Early referral and timely treatment play a key role in achieving successful outcomes and improving the lives of patients suffering from this condition.



Cranial hernias are those non-traumatic tumor-like formations that are localized in the maxillofacial region within the boundaries of the anatomical skull and are accompanied by dysfunction of the brain. They arise both due to head injuries and as a result of inflammatory processes, local inflammatory reactions or anatomical formations of the head complicated by malignant neoplasms of tissue.
