RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Traumatic orbital encephaloceles are rare but severe complications of orbital fractures. These encephaloceles can present months to years after the initial injury. OBSERVATIONS: The authors present two cases of traumatic orbital encephalocele in young males struck by motor vehicles. LESSONS: The exact traumatic mechanism of these encephaloceles is unknown, and diagnosis can be confounded by concomitant injuries. The use of a minimally invasive supraorbital keyhole craniotomy has the potential to change how this disease process is managed and has not been previously documented in this setting.
