Encephalocele, also known as meningoencephalocele, is a form of neural tube defect and a type of cephalocele where brain tissue and overlying meninges herniate out through a defect in the cranium.
Terminology
Although the terms encephalocele and meningoencephalocele are often used interchange...

Sphenoidal encephalocele
Sphenoidal encephaloceles represent meningoencephaloceles which extend into or through the sphenoid bone.
Terminology
Sphenoidal meningoencephalocele can be divided in a number of ways:
content: meningoceles vs encephaloceles
location: medial vs lateral (see below)

Temporal encephalocele
Temporal encephaloceles are usually small encephaloceles, often asymptomatic, but increasingly recognized as potential causes of refractory epilepsy and as a sequela of idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
Epidemiology
Temporal encephaloceles can be congenital or secondary to trauma, idiopath...

Frontoethmoidal encephalocele
Frontoethmoidal encephaloceles are second only to occipital encephaloceles in terms of frequency, representing approximately 15% of all encephaloceles. They represent meninges or brain tissue herniating through a cranial defect in the anterior cranial fossa and typically result in facial deformi...

Nasal encephalocele
Nasal encephaloceles are in most cases a form of neural tube defect particularly common in Southeast Asia. There is herniation of cranial content through a bony defect in the anterior skull base into the nasal area.
The term is variably used but generally encompasses both frontoethmoidal enceph...

Sincipital encephalocele
Sincipital encephaloceles are congenital herniations of cerebral parenchyma through a cranial defect. There are three main types 1,2:
frontonasal encephalocele (~50%): more common in Asia and Latin America 4
nasoethmoidal encephalocele (30%): more common in North America 4
nasoorbital (nasola...

Intradiploic encephalocele
Intradiploic encephaloceles are a very rare form of encephalocele where there is herniation of brain tissue into the diploic space but not beyond. They have usually been described post-trauma but have also rarely been described in non-traumatic situations 1.
