Repair of a Skull Base Encephalocele

Virginia rates for HCPCS 62121

Closes a gap at the base of the skull through which brain tissue and its coverings have pushed out, working through an opening made in the skull. The protruding tissue is dealt with, the covering is sealed, and the bony defect is repaired so spinal fluid cannot leak. It protects the brain tissue and prevents infection of its coverings.
