| |
| <li>Cranial dysraphisms range in severity from minimally symptomatic dermal sinus tracts to large encephaloceles.</li>
| |
| <li>The overall incidence of encephaloceles is declining, possibly due to dietary folate supplementation.</li>
| |
| <li>Encephaloceles can occur in various sites and exhibit variation in size, shape, and contents.</li>
| |
| <li>Prenatal diagnosis of encephaloceles is common, typically confirmed by elevated α-fetoprotein levels and ultrasound.</li>
| |
| <li>Surgical repair of extreme herniation may not provide significant benefits and requires counseling and consultation.</li>
| |
| <li>Surgical treatment aims to reduce herniation, preserve viable brain, and reconstruct craniofacial defects.</li>
| |
| <li>Prognosis varies based on factors specific to the location and anatomy of the encephalocele.</li>
| |
| <li>Cranial meningoceles can occur in diverse locations, and complete excision with primary dural closure leads to a good prognosis.</li>
| |
| <li>Dermal sinus tracts present as cutaneous dimples and are often associated with a cyst. Total en bloc resection is the management goal.</li>
| |
| <li>Complete resections of dermal sinus tracts have a favorable prognosis and low recurrence rates.</li>
