Systematic review of anterior congenital cephaloceles: open vs endoscopic repair

Anterior cephaloceles are rare congenital malformations that have historically been corrected via open approaches. Although the advent of endoscopic endonasal surgery has provided a minimally invasive and theoretically less morbid approach to the anterior skull base, whether endoscopic approaches provide superior treatment outcomes to open techniques has yet to be elucidated. The objective of this study was to systematically review the available literature regarding presentation and outcomes of open vs endoscopic repair of congenital anterior cephaloceles.
