Abstract
- Introduction: Reconstruction of skull base defects are determined by size, location, and complexity of the defect. Methods: Case report. Case Discussion: An 11‐year old girl presented with a right frontoethmoidal encephalocele after an episode of meningitis. An endoscopic approach was performed with a Draf III to provide exposure. The skull base defect extended superolateral over the orbit, which limited the choice of reconstructive options. The defect was successfully repaired with a single layer onlay graft of bovine collagen matrix. Conclusions: Single layer repairs using commercial biomaterials should be considered where multilayer closure or vascularized flaps may not be possible.
