Abstract
The anatomical and embryological facets of the persistent craniopharyngeal canal combined with a meningoencephalocele are reviewed, and the case of a 6 year old girl is reported. Postnatal dyspnea and cyanosis improved after perforation of nasopharyngeal cyst, and adenoidectomy was performed at the age of 8 months. The second episode of meningitis led to its radiological assessment and correct diagnosis. Surgical treatment is limited because the location of the pituitary in this child is not known.
