The term "encephalocele" refers to the herniation of brain tissue caused by a cranial bone defect. It could be congenital, traumatic, neoplastic, or arise spontaneously. The possibility of traumatic fronto-ethmoidal encephalocele should be considered in patients who have experienced trauma. We report a case of a 16-year-old male with a recent history of a bike accident presented with sudden unilateral rhinorrhea. Non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) brain was done, which showed findings of left fronto-ethmoidal encephalocele. The patient was managed with single-staged surgery without any complications.
“脑膨出”一词指的是由颅骨缺损导致的脑组织疝出。它可能是先天性的、外伤性的、肿瘤性的，或者自发产生。对于有外伤史的患者，应考虑外伤性额筛部脑膨出的可能性。我们报告一例16岁男性患者，近期有自行车事故史，出现突发单侧鼻漏。进行了脑部非增强计算机断层扫描（NCCT），结果显示为左侧额筛部脑膨出。该患者接受了一期手术治疗，未出现任何并发症。
