Sumario:The sphenoethmoidal meningocele is a herniation of the meninges through a communication of the skull base with an aeric cavity. It means the presence of an osteomeningeal breach, which is manifested by cerebrospinal rhinorrhea and nasal obstruction. iIs diagnosis is based on a very specific radiological assessment and biology allows the dosage of certain substances to confirm the nature of the cerebrospinal fluid, such as beta-2-transferrin, Once the breach has been found, the endoscopic route exclusively allows the pathology to be treated and the defect to be reconstructed using different materials before the occurrence of serious complications such as meningitis.
