Abstract

The authors report the endoscopic management of a boy with nasal glioma who was only 35 days old. The nasal glioma is a rare congenital nasal abnormality, which manifests as a mass of extracranial cerebral tissue unconnected with the brain. For surgical excision, some surgeons suggest initial craniotomy for excluding intracranial extension. The authors successfully removed the intranasal glioma by endoscopic surgery without craniotomy on a 35-day-old boy. Intranasal endoscopic surgery is a less-invasive and safe procedure and does not result in postoperative facial scarring and deformity. Therefore, the use of endoscopic surgery in place of lateral rhinotomy procedure is recommended.
