Los cefaloceles son extrusiones de contenido intracraneal a través de defectos óseos en el cráneo. Su incidencia aproximada es de un caso por cada 3000-10.000 recién nacidos y se clasifican en función de su localización en el cráneo. Los meningoceles orbitarios son muy poco habituales y se manifiestan con la presencia de una masa intraorbitaria de consistencia blanda que provoca exoftalmos.
Presentamos el caso de una niña de 15 meses afecta de un voluminoso meningocistocele orbitario, que se presentó al nacimiento como una masa orbitaria y que fue diagnosticada con tomografía computarizada y resonancia magnética.
Encephalocele is defined as a protrusion of cranial contents beyond the normal confines of the skull. Encephaloceles occur with an incidence of approximately 1 in 3000-10.000 births and are categorized based on location in the skull. Orbital meningoencephalocele is a rare congenital abnormality caused by a defect of the cranio-orbital bones that usually manifests soon after birth as a soft mass associated with exophthalmos.
We present a case of a giant orbital meningocele presenting as an orbital mass in a 15 months-old girl. Preoperative diagnosis was confirmed by CT-scan and magnetic resonance imaging.
