Encephaloceles, also known as meningoencephaloceles, are a group of neurological disorders characterized by herniation of the cerebral parenchyma along with overlying meninges through openings in the skull bone. They can be seen following congenital defect in neural tube closure or acquired defect in the skull bone. We report a case of acquired frontoethmoidal encephalocele presenting with drug-refractory epilepsy. Interictal FDG PET-computed tomography done for lateralization and localization of seizure focus showed right-sided frontoethmoidal encephalocele associated with hypometabolism in the adjacent right frontopolar cortex, concordant with ictal onset on electroencephalogram.
脑膨出，也称为脑膜脑膨出，是一组神经系统疾病，其特征是脑实质连同覆盖其上的脑膜通过颅骨的开口疝出。它们可在神经管闭合的先天性缺陷或颅骨的后天性缺陷后出现。我们报告一例获得性额筛脑膨出伴药物难治性癫痫的病例。为癫痫灶的定位和定侧进行的发作间期氟代脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描计算机断层扫描显示右侧额筛脑膨出，伴有相邻右侧额极皮质代谢减低，与脑电图上的发作起始一致。
