[A case of gigantic orbital meningoencephalocele in a newborn].

A case of a gigantic orbital meningoencephalocele in a neonate treated successfully by staged correction is presented. Correction of this congenital malformation enabled a more normal further development of brain and face, and also resulted in a much more acceptable cosmetic appearance. All this had a positive influence on psychomotor development of this child. An overview of pertinent literature is included.
