Abstrakt: |
Congenital midline frontonasal swellings are rare condition and nasal glioma accounts for 5% of these abnormality. Nasal gliomas are benign tumours results from embryonic developmental error. Although it is a rare tumour but clinically it has some differential diagnoses. Most common are dermoid tumour, nasal glioma and nasal encephalocele. About 15-20% cases nasal glioma have a fibrous stalk that connecting to the central nervous system. Multidisciplinary approach is needed for proper diagnosis and to prevent life threatening intracranial complication. We present a case of nasal glioma in a 6 months old girl presented with a congenital swelling on the left lateral side of the nose with complaints of watering from the eye of same side. |
