A 39-year-old female presented with persistent unilateral headache and was found to have an encephalocele of the right lateral frontal sinus. Due to the position of the defect, a transorbital neuroendoscopic approach was performed to expose and reduce the encephalocele. A free mucosal graft was harvested from the nasal cavity and used to repair the defect. Postoperative imaging confirmed repair and patient went on to undergo stenting of the right transverse sinus.
