JOURNAL ARTICLE
A CARE-compliant article: Extranasal glial heterotopia in a female infant: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore) 2018 September
RATIONALE: Nasal glial heterotopia is a rare type of neoplasm consisting of meningothelial and/or neuroglial elements.
PATIENT CONCERNS: A 17-month-old female infant was evaluated for treatment for a congenital mass present since birth on the right side of the nasal dorsum.
DIAGNOSES: The patient was preoperatively diagnosed with a congenital extranasal neoplasm.
INTERVENTIONS: Surgery was performed under general anesthesia, and the mass was completely resected. The tissue was sent for histological examination, and the diagnosis was of extranasal glial heterotopia.
OUTCOMES: The surgical outcome was good, and no surgical site infection was recorded. After 6 months of follow-up, the girl was asymptomatic with no recurrence.
LESSONS: Surgical excision, a curative method used to address extranasal glial heterotopia, resulted in no recurrence during the clinical follow-up period. The potential for an intracranial connection must always be kept in mind when considering how to surgically treat a congenital midline mass to prevent the risk of cerebrospinal fluid leakage.
