title: [Pulsating nasopharyngeal tumor. Case report of spheno-pharyngeal cephalocele].
abstract: We describe a patient with a pulsatile nasopharyngeal tumour. The diagnostic methods such as endoscopy, computed tomography and NMR are illustrated as well as the anatomical details of encephaloceles. Correct diagnosis prevents complications which can occur as a result of mistaking this lesion for a cyst or adenoids.
