Résumé
Congenital basal meningoceles and encephaloceles are rare pathologies that may present in isolation or with characteristic-associated clinical features. Rarely, children with congenital midline defects may present with massive encephaloceles secondary to anterior cranial fossa agenesis. Traditionally, transcranial approaches with frontal craniotomies were used to reduce the herniated contents and repair the skull base defect. However, high rates of morbidity and mortality associated with craniotomies have favored the development and adoption of less-invasive techniques. To present a novel technique for combined endoscopic endonasal and transpalatal repair of a giant basal meningocele through an extensive sphenoethmoidal skull base defect. A representative case of congenital anterior cranial fossa agenesis with a giant meningocele was selected. Clinical and radiological presentations were reviewed, and the intraoperative surgical technique was documented and recorded. A surgical video highlighting each surgical step was included to complement the description of the technique. The surgical outcome from the selected case is also presented. This report describes a combined endoscopic endonasal and transpalatal approach to repair an extensive anterior skull base defect with herniation of intracranial content. This technique capitalizes on the advantages of each approach to address this complex pathology.

BACKGROUND
Congenital basal meningoceles and encephaloceles are rare pathologies that may present in isolation or with characteristic-associated clinical features. Rarely, children with congenital midline defects may present with massive encephaloceles secondary to anterior cranial fossa agenesis. Traditionally, transcranial approaches with frontal craniotomies were used to reduce the herniated contents and repair the skull base defect. However, high rates of morbidity and mortality associated with craniotomies have favored the development and adoption of less-invasive techniques.
OBJECTIVE
To present a novel technique for combined endoscopic endonasal and transpalatal repair of a giant basal meningocele through an extensive sphenoethmoidal skull base defect.
METHODS
A representative case of congenital anterior cranial fossa agenesis with a giant meningocele was selected. Clinical and radiological presentations were reviewed, and the intraoperative surgical technique was documented and recorded.
RESULTS
A surgical video highlighting each surgical step was included to complement the description of the technique. The surgical outcome from the selected case is also presented.
CONCLUSION
This report describes a combined endoscopic endonasal and transpalatal approach to repair an extensive anterior skull base defect with herniation of intracranial content. This technique capitalizes on the advantages of each approach to address this complex pathology.
