Occipito-clival intradiploic meningocoele following skull fracture in infancy

An adolescent presented with an intradiploic meningocoele 11 years after an occipital skull fracture. Surgical treatment consisted initially of cranioplasty, but the lesion then progressed to involve much of the skull base, requiring cystoperitoneal shunt insertion. The pathogenesis and treatment of...

Zusammenfassung:An adolescent presented with an intradiploic meningocoele 11 years after an occipital skull fracture. Surgical treatment consisted initially of cranioplasty, but the lesion then progressed to involve much of the skull base, requiring cystoperitoneal shunt insertion. The pathogenesis and treatment of post-traumatic intradiploic meningocoele is discussed.
