ABSTRACT
Cranial meningoencephalocele is a rare condition consisting of the herniation of meninges, CSF, and brain tissue through a cranial or skull base defect. Sphenoid sinus lateral recess meningoencephalocele is of particular interest due to the complex anatomy surrounding the bone defect and their demanding surgical management. In this technical note, we reported a step-by-step description of a rare case of sphenoid sinus lateral recess meningoencephalocele causing headache due to recurrent cerebrospinal fluid leak treated with a subtemporal craniotomy with extradural middle cranial fossa drilling and meningoencephalocele removal with multilayer reconstruction. The transcranial route is a safe and effective treatment for sphenoid sinus lateral recess meningoencephalocele repair. The subtemporal extradural approach allows for an optimal exposure of the relevant anatomy minimizing risks and improving the possibility to perform an effective multilayer skull base reconstruction.
