HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Definition:Basal encephalocele is an encephalocele that occurs along the cribriform plate or through the sphenoid bone. The mass may appear in the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, epipharynx, sphenoid sinus, posterior orbit, or pterygopalatine fossa. The important distinction from other types is that no external tumor is visible except in those rare instances of herniations so large that they protrude through the mouth or nares.
Comment:The skull base is made up of the ethmoid, sphenoid, occipital, paired frontal, and paired parietal bones, and is subdivided into 3 regions: the anterior, middle, and posterior cranial fossae.
Synonyms:xref: UMLS:C4023176
