Abstract:
Nasal glial heterotopia(NGH),formerly known as nasal glioma,is a rare congenital developmental abnormality.A two-year-old female infant with intranasal NGH was admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University in 2023.The patient treated in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery in our hospital due to bilateral runny nose.Finding a nasal space occupying lesion in the left nasal cavity,she was hospitalized as"nasal space occupying lesion(left)".Consequently,she underwent surgical treatment after completing the relevant examinations.The postoperative pathological examination results showed it was glioma,and then she was diagnosed with intranasal type of nasal glial heterotopia finally.After half a year of postoperative follow-up,there was no recurrence and complications such as meningitis and cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea.The incidence of NGH is very low,and it is easy to miss diagnosis.For congenital nasal midline tumors in children,NGH should be considered when CT results suggest the tumor is not communicated with the skull,which has a good prognosis after surgical treatment.
