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.
