J Craniofac Surg. 1999 Mar;10(2):111-6. doi: 10.1097/00001665-199903000-00004.

Abstract

The surgical treatment of a very large anterior encephalocele in an infant is presented. Because of the large size of the encephalocele, a combined transfacial-transcranial approach was used for correction of the associated intracranial, cranioorbitonasal bone, and facial skin deformities.
