Nasal Encephaloceles (Frontoethmoidal and Basal Encephaloceles) are very rare neural tube defects (opening in the spinal cord or brain) characterized by sac-like protrusions of the brain and the membranes that cover it through openings in the skull. Encephaloceles cause a groove down the middle of the skull, or between the forehead and nose, or on the backside of the skull.
