Abstract

Neuroglial heterotopias are rare congenital masses. Nasal heterotopies are termed as nasal glial heterotopia or nasal glioma. The differential diagnosis includes hemangioma, dermoid/epidermoid cysts, encephalocel and tumors. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. We report an extremely low birth weight infant with nasal glioma as firts time in the literature.
