A longterm follow-up ranges from 12 to 52mois.The major symptom is unilateral rhinorrhea in all patients (100%), Repeated Meningitis was observed in 15children (42.8%) In 04 children (11, 4%) we found a defect associated with small meningoceles without cerebral hernia while in 8 patients (22, 8%) it was a meningo-encephalocele associated with osteo-dural defect more or less wide. The hospital stay varies between 7 to 10 days after removal of the ball on the fifth day.After a long follow-up of 12-60 months, we have reoperated three cases of osteo-dural defects the results is 100% successful.
