Resumen:
The presence of giant occipital encephalocele represents a surgical
challenge. However, preoperative magnetic resonance imaging with
venography can help in delineating relation of venous sinus, content of
the sac and help classify occipital encephalocele into infra-torcular
and torcular depending on the relation with position of torcula.
However, the presence of old hemorrhage into encephalocele sac is
extremely rare and in the detailed PubMed search, the authors could find
one such case, reported by Nath et al. The author reports a case of
giant occipital encephalocele; during surgery, evidence of old bleed was
noted. Pertinent literature and management are reviewed briefly.
