Abstract
This report describes an unusual cephalocele originating in the temporobasal region and protruding through the sphenopetral area into the oral cavity. A rapid and nonaggressive endoscopic procedure was performed. The relationship between this type of cephalocele, spontaneous anteroinferior temporal encephaloceles, and nasopharyngeal brain heterotopia is discussed.
