    In this case, a young man presented with retro-orbital pressure headaches and right eye proptosis secondary to a sphenoid wing encephalocele. A lateral orbitotomy was performed to directly access the greater sphenoid wing site of dehiscence with minimal bone removal and a 1.5 cm lateral canthal incision. The encephalocele was resected back to normal dural edges, and double-layered fascia lata graft was enveloped about the native dural edge to provide a reliable dural repair.
