A case of congenital anterior encephalocele presented originally with nasolacrimal obstruction. Associated paranasal masses and hypertelorism suggested the diagnosis, which was confirmed and delineated by computed tomography. Anterior encephalocele has various clinical presentations, but the diagnosis should be suspected in a child with nasolacrimal obstruction and associated congenital anomalies, particularly paranasal masses. Early recognition is essential to prevent trauma to CNS tissue, to prompt evaluation for other congenital anomalies, and to facilitate appropriate neurosurgical repair.
一例先天性前脑膨出最初表现为鼻泪管阻塞。相关的鼻旁肿块和眼距过宽提示了诊断，计算机断层扫描证实并明确了该诊断。前脑膨出有多种临床表现，但对于患有鼻泪管阻塞及相关先天性异常，尤其是鼻旁肿块的儿童，应怀疑此病。早期识别对于防止中枢神经系统组织受损、促使对其他先天性异常进行评估以及便于进行适当的神经外科修复至关重要。
