Flow Of Information

Abstract Shannon's theory lays the foundation for understanding the flow of information from world into brain: There must be a set of possible messages. Brain structure determines what they are. Many messages convey quantitative facts (distances, directions, durations, etc.). It is impossible to consider how neural tissue processes these numbers without first considering how it encodes them.

Abstract BACKGROUND Encephaloceles are herniations of intracranial neural tissue and meninges through defects in the skull. Basal encephaloceles are rare anterior skull base defects incident in 1 in 35,000 live births. Sphenoethmoidal encephaloceles are even more uncommon, with an incidence of 1 in 700,000 live births. Anterior skull base encephaloceles may be life-threatening in infants, presenting as airway obstruction and respiratory compromise. They can also present with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea, purulent nasal drainage, or meningitis. OBJECTIVE To report a novel technique for repairing a giant sphenoethmoidal encephalocele containing eloquent neural tissue. METHODS A 16-mo-old girl presented with progressive airway obstruction from a giant sphenoethmoidal encephalocele that filled her oral cavity. She had multiple congenital anomalies including agenesis of the corpus callosum and cleft lip and palate. Computed tomography showed complete absence of the bony anterior cranial base, and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated the presence of the pituitary gland and hypothalamus in the hernia sac. RESULTS We repaired the encephalocele using a combined microsurgical and endoscopic multidisciplinary approach working through transcranial, transnasal, and transpalatal corridors. The procedure was completed in a single stage, during which the midline cleft lip was also repaired. The child made an excellent neurological and aesthetic recovery with preservation of pituitary and hypothalamic function, without evidence of CSF fistula. CONCLUSION The authors describe a novel multidisciplinary technique for treating a giant sphenoethmoidal encephalocele containing eloquent brain. The cleft lip was also repaired at the same time. The ability to work through multiple corridors can enhance the safety and efficacy of an often-treacherous operative endeavor.
