  • Title: An unusual midline nasal mass in a newborn.
    Author: Highton LR, Pay AD.
    Journal: J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg; 2009 May; 62(5):695-6. PubMed ID: 18502194.
    Abstract:
    We report a rare case of glial heterotopia that presented as an unusual mass over the bridge of an infant's nose. Nasal gliomas arise due to defective closure of the anterior neuropore during embryological development and represent encephaloceles that have lost their intracranial connection. They are treated by excision, which also allows definitive histological diagnosis.
