Prenatal Tanı Alan Primer Fronto-Etmoidal Ensefalosel: Olgu Sunumu.

The present study aimed to report a case of primary frontoethmoidal encephalocele diagnosed at 24 weeks of gestation. Encephalocele is one of the most commonly observed neural tube defects; the other two are anencephaly and spina bifida. No associated abnormality was observed in the present case, which only had a mass lesion in the glabellar region of the face. Frontoethmoidal encephalocele was diagnosed after physical examination and radiologic evaluation of the case. Frontoethmoidal encephaloceles are rare cases and can be diagnosed in the antenatal period. All masses at the nasal region must be accepted as an encephalocele until proven otherwise.
