  • Title: A case of nasal glioma in a new-born infant.
    Author: Rouev P, Dimov P, Shomov G.
    Journal: Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol; 2001 Apr 06; 58(1):91-4. PubMed ID: 11249987.
    Abstract:
    We report a 1 day old girl with a nasal mass that was diagnosed as an intranasal glioma. The tumor mass was noted to be localized laterally from, and based along, the inferior turbinate. Nasal glioma is a developmental abnormality of neurogenic origin with no malignant potential. An intranasal mass requires careful rhinological, neurological and radiological examinations. With adequate initial removal, excisional biopsy usually allows complete recovery. A frontal craniotomy approach is preferred for those patients who have nasal glioma with an intracranial connection. With no evidence of an intracranial connection, a conservative extracranial approach is recommended.
