[Nasal encephalocele as a cause of recurrent bacterial meningitis].
Nasal encephaloceles are rare inborn malformations of the central nervous system. We report on a 30 months old boy with recurrent bacterial meningitis where a nasal encephalocele was diagnosed. We describe diagnostic procedures and the development and treatment of this interesting disease. The nasal encephalocele was successfully removed surgically.
