Giant occipital encephalocele is a rare form of congenital anomaly that involves protrusion of brain tissue (greater in size than the patient's cranial cavity) from a defect in the skull. This case reports illustrates repair of a giant encephalocele and emphasizes important methods to reduce risk for blood loss and other complications.
A rare form of congenital anomaly, giant occipital encephalocele involves protrusion of brain tissue from a defect in the skull (in this case from the occiput). While encephalocele itself is a fairly rare entity, those qualifying as "giant"-defined by size of the deformity exceeding that of the skull itself - require very technically challenging surgery.
巨大枕部脑膨出是一种罕见的先天性异常形式，涉及脑组织（体积大于患者颅腔）从颅骨缺损处突出。本病例报告阐述了巨大脑膨出的修复，并强调了减少失血和其他并发症风险的重要方法。
巨大枕部脑膨出是一种罕见的先天性异常形式，涉及脑组织从颅骨缺损处（在本病例中为枕部）突出。虽然脑膨出本身是一种相当罕见的病症，但那些被定义为“巨大”的脑膨出——根据畸形大小超过颅骨本身来界定——需要极具技术挑战性的手术。
