- Intranasal meningoencephaloceles are rare congenital defects that can show symptoms similar to more common conditions like nasal polyps, making diagnosis challenging in pediatric neurosurgery.
- The case of a 20-day-old boy with a basal meningoencephalocele was reported, involving symptoms such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage and respiratory issues, leading to two staged surgeries for repair.
- Emphasis is placed on the necessity for prompt surgical intervention in infants and thorough intraoperative examination to ensure all defects are addressed, reducing the risk of complications.
