Abstract | Background: Developmental meningoceles of the sphenoid sinus are uncommon. When encountered, they are often associated with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea. Observations: The authors present the case of a 27-year-old female with a large meningocele eroding through the sella turcica and sphenoid sinus into the nasopharynx. The patient presented with intractable headaches and amenorrhea without CSF rhinorrhea. Lessons: The patient underwent an endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal reduction of the meningocele with reelevation of the pituitary gland and skull base reconstruction with abdominal fat graft and nasoseptal flap. |
