Encephaloceles are considered rare with an approximate incidence of 1 in 35,000, and sphenoid encephaloceles are even more uncommon. Two types of sphenoid encephaloceles exist: medial perisellar encephaloceles, and lateral sphenoidal encephaloceles. Surgical correction of the lateral sphenoid recess encephalocele is achieved via one of two endoscopic approaches: extended sphenoidotomy or transpterygopalatine.

We report the case of silent somatotroph tumor (SST) that had transformed to functional type. We also review similar cases of SST with functionalization.

The lateral transorbital approach is a minimally invasive approach that was first described for accessing the cavernous sinus.1 Although other minimally invasive approaches have been broadly applied to aneurysm surgery,2 the use of transorbital keyholes for this is still quite rare.3,4 We present a 72-year-old man with an incidentally discovered 5-mm middle cerebral artery aneurysm.
