Reconstruction of encephalocele frontoethmoidal using graft acetabular: Case Report. rev.fac.med. [online]. 2014, vol.62, n.2, pp.293-297.

Frontoethmoidal encephalocele is a congenital neural tube malformation characterized by a herniation of the brain and the meninges through an anterior cranial defect, which generates facial deformity. This document presents a report of a 10-year-old boy with a midline facial defect corresponding to an encephalocele frontoethmoidal. Surgical correction was performed with the acetabulum graft placement, obtaining an aesthetic improvement and anatomically favorable. This seems to be the first case in the literature in which the acetabulumgraft is used to reconstruct a frontoethmoidal encephalocele.
