This presentation deals with our experience of surgery on 8 patients with fronto-ethmoidal meningocoele. 7 of these patients had an intracranial repair of the meningocoele, coupled with or followed by an orbital osteotomy, to correct the associated hypertelorism. We feel that an orbital osteotomy done at the time of meningocoele repair improves the results of surgery, without adding to its risk. The osteotomy practised by the authors includes resection of a central wedge of bone and a medial shift of the roof and medial wall of the orbit.
