[Histological profile and progression of intraspinal tumors after surgery].

Intraspinal tumors are uncommon. Positive diagnosis is based on medical imaging exams, in particular MRI. Anatomopathological examination allows for definitive diagnosis.

Frontoethmoidal cephalocele: our experience of eleven cases managed surgically.

Introduction: Frontoethmoidal or sincipital cephaloceles are congenital malformations characterized by externalization of the meninges and/or brain tissue through a congenital bone defect between the frontal and ethmoid bones. These sincipital cephaloceles are very infrequent. While in developed countries the measures taken have brought about virtually zero frequency of this pathology, in our work environment these measures are virtually nonexistent, so that frontoethmoidal cephaloceles remain one of our concerns.
