Abstract
Nasal glial heterotopia is a rare congenital mass that is more commonly noted in infants. We report a case of nasal glial heterotopia in a 5-month-old girl initially presenting with unilateral nasal obstruction. Diagnostic imaging showed a tissue mass in the nasal cavity. The mass was resected via endoscopic surgery. We present the approach to radiological examination and clinical course of the case. In cases of infant nasal glial heterotopia recurrence of the mass is possible if it is not completely excised, so it is essential to be careful during the procedure and perform routine follow-ups. Differential diagnosis includes mainly meningocele and encephalocele, polyps and nasal dermoid cyst. Although nasal glial heterotopia is a rare condition, it should be taken into consideration in diagnosis of infants with nasal obstruction.
