Abstract:

Background: Meningoceles are congenital herniation of meninges and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) through the skull and are bereft of any cerebral tissue. They are commonly found over the anterior fontanelle. Although some cases of cervical dysraphism have been described in the literature, a true meningocele has rarely been seen. The child usually presents with hydrocephalus with features of raised increased intracranial pressure. Sensory, motor, and sphincter functions may be involved depending on the level of lesion. Closure of meningocele should be ideally done within the first 48 h of birth. Case Description: Complications associated with meningocele range from learning disabilities, seizures, and bowel dysfunction to complete paralysis below the level of the lesion. The postoperative complications reported are wound infection, CSF leak/collection, urinary tract infection, deterioration of deficit, and death. Here, we present a postoperative case of an 11-month-old child with cervical meningocele who had an unusual complication almost 2 h after an uneventful surgery in the form of sudden cardiorespiratory arrest was revived successfully. Conclusion: A meningocele surgery is usually not associated with severe postoperative complications which can be encountered in meningomyelocele surgery. Here, in our case, the child with uneventful meningocele surgery arrested 2 h postsurgery with the possible cause being cervical cord edema. Hence, a lesson was learned that strict vigilance is also required in postoperative care for meningocele patients.

Abstract:

Abstract Occipital cephaloceles in the Dandy-Walker syndrome are not rare. To date, 28 cases have been reported. We report on 8 cases of associated occipital meningocele, totalling 16% of all patients with the Dandy-Walker syndrome in our series. In all patients, communication existed between the posterior fossa cyst and the occipital meningocele. In 2 patients, the occipital meningocele disappeared after cerebrospinal fluid shunting and never required surgical repair. It appears that the cranial defect had ossified and resulted in self-closure. Poor intellectual development in persons with the Dandy-Walker syndrome is associated with the presence of other central nervous system and systemic abnormalities and not with occipital meningoceles alone.

Abstract:

Background: Orbital meningocele is a rare congenital malformation characterized by herniation of the meninges into the orbit through a congenital defect in the orbital bones. Much less commonly, it occurs at the site of natural openings (e.g., optic foramen and sphenoidal fissure) or can be attributed to trauma. Cases Description: We report two patients with progressive proptosis found to have orbital meningoceles, respectively, attributed to congenital and traumatic lesions. The computed tomography scan in one case documented a traumatic orbital bony defect, but in the other case, led the mistaken diagnosis of an arachnoid cyst. Conclusion: Both patients underwent two operations each to ultimately achieve successful surgical correction of their respective traumatic and congenital orbital meningoceles.

Abstract We report a case of a presacral teratoma containing a malignant carcinoid component associated with an anterior sacral meningocele that presented in a 35-year-old woman. The clinical, radiographic, and pathological features of these rare tumors, of presacral meningoceles, and of the hereditary presacral teratoma syndrome are discussed.

Abstract:

✓ Anterior sacral meningoceles are rare. This report describes familial anterior sacral meningoceles in a father and daughter who underwent magnetic resonance imaging as part of the preoperative evaluation. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a pelvic teratoma in the daughter and confirmed the absence of abnormal tissue in the father — findings not clearly provided by ultrasound studies, myelography, or contrast-enhanced computerized tomography. It is believed that MR imaging is the most useful preoperative diagnostic technique available in establishing a treatment plan for anterior sacral meningocele.

Abstract:

Objective. To discuss a less common complication of middle ear surgery. Meningoceles are dural herniations that can fill the mastoid cavities through congenital or acquired bony defects of the mastoid walls. They can complicate the postoperative course of surgery for chronic middle ear disease. Material and method. Case presentation showing one patient who developed a mastoid meningocele after extensive cholesteatoma surgery. Discussion. The causes of dural herniation into the mastoid cavities are presented. Some hypothesis regarding the factors that favor the occurrence of this complication are presented. Conclusions. Surgical closing of the bone gap in the mastoid wall was the treatment we used. We can not ascertain yet the long term results of such surgical maneuver, regarding the technique and the graft we used. Attention to the mastoid surgical detail and good postoperative intensive care could prevent such complications.

Abstract:

Object Intrasacral meningoceles are rare cystic lesions that can cause focal compression within the bony sacral canal. Their mechanisms are poorly understood, but most intrasacral meningoceles appear to be intrasacral extradural cysts caused by arachnoid herniating through a small dural defect in the caudal end of the thecal sac. As opposed to perineural cysts, they are not associated with an exiting nerve root. When symptomatic, they can cause sacral pain or sacral nerve root dysfunction due to local compression. Methods This is a retrospective series from Boston Children's Hospital. All patients in whom symptomatic intrasacral meningocele that required surgical treatment was diagnosed between May 1994 and March 2011 were included in the study. Spine MRI was the diagnostic modality of choice. All patients underwent sacral exploration, with ligation and obliteration of the cyst. Resected cyst wall was subjected to pathological examination. Results There were 13 patients (11 boys and 2 girls) who underwent operation for intrasacral meningocele. The median age was 8 years (range 5 months–16 years). The most common presenting symptom was back pain (in 5) often described as deep tail bone pain, followed by urinary incontinence (3) and constipation (2). Three patients had evidence of associated tethered cord on MRI studies. Four patients were asymptomatic and their diagnosis was made following imaging for other reasons; they were surgically treated because of the increasing size of the lesion or association with other congenital lesions. Most patients had symptomatic improvement after surgery. Conclusions Intrasacral meningoceles are rare lesions that may result from a congenital dural weakness and a resultant arachnoid diverticulum. They present in childhood either incidentally or with symptoms secondary to nerve root compression. Identification of the point of herniation through the dura mater and ligation of the lesion provides cyst cure and resolution of symptoms in most patients.
