Intranasal encephalocoele can be congenital or acquired as a consequence of injury to the floor of anterior cranial fossa disrupting dura resulting in herniation of brain tissue in the nasal cavity. Authors came across a case of encephalocoele as a complication of intranasal polypectoury. We are reporting this case due to its rareness.
