Abstract
A rare case of frontonasal encephalocele associated with a congenital brain tumor is presented. We describe our combined extracranial and in tracranial approach to correction of frontonasal encephaloceles. A dis cussion of frontonasal encephaloceles and neonatal brain tumors follow s, with a discussion of embryopathogenesis and surgical correction.
