Abstract:
Heterotopic brain tissue is defined as displaced neuroglial tissue that has no connection with the central nervous system. As there is no communication with underlying structures, serious anomalies rarely occur. A 6-year-old Korean male presented an erythematous, non tender nodule measuring 1.5X1.5X0.5cm on right parietal scalp since birth. The lesion was covered with thickened alopetic skin. There was no neurologic defect. The mass was not connected with intracranial structures on a magnetic resonance imaging.
