The intraoperative findings that influence the key steps taken in this procedure will be discussed. In appropriately selected patients, the endoscopic endonasal approach provides an effective method to surgically treat a spontaneous ethmoid roof meningoencephalocele.</p> <p>The outcome objectives for the audience are to (1) recognize the presentation of sinonasal meningoencephaloceles based on symptoms, nasal endoscopy, and diagnostic imaging; (2) understand the surgical sequence in the endonasal repair of an ethmoid roof meningoencephalocele; and (3) appreciate the feasibility of the endoscopic approach to surgically manage spontaneous ethmoid meningoencephaloceles.</p>
