Intranasal Glioma with Post-Endoscopic Resection in 1 Year Old Infant: Case Report and Literature Review*

Abstract

Introduction Nasal gliomas - or nasal glial heterotopias - are rare congenital malformations, which correspond to 5% of the congenital nasal masses. It is a mass composed of mature glial tissue that can be located outside, inside or near the nasal region, and may or may not be connected to the brain by a fibrous pedicle. This report addresses a case of nasal glioma that suffered recurrence after endoscopic treatment.
