Abstract
Frontoethmoidal meningoencephalocele is distinctive in its demographic distribution and its effect on growth of other facial structures. Early diagnosis and referral are of paramount importance. The aim of treatment is to remove the lesion before the deformity disturbs facial growth or alters stereoscopic vision. One-stage, craniofacial surgical intervention is the treatment of choice.
