A Giant Encephalocele Mimicking Nasal Polyp - A Case Report.

Encephaloceles are most commonly seen in children and rarely in adults. Spontaneous encephaloceles comprises of 3 - 5% of all CSF leaks. A huge encephalocele may be misdiagnosed as Polyp. Here we are sharing our experience of clinical presentation of an 46 year old male adult who was referred to ENT OPD with recent history of seizures, history of intermittent rhinorrhea, and nasal obstruction. On further radiological evaluation spontaneous encephalocele was noted in the left nasal cavity and was managed by Endoscopic CSF leak repair with DRAF 2 procedure.
