| Abstrakt: | Glial heterotopia of oropharynx is a congenital anomaly, whereby ectopic mature glial tissue is found around oropharynx isolated from the brain and spinal cord. Herein we report a rare presentation of a mass at the base of tongue in a neonate. In addition, to underscore the rarity of oropharygeal glial heterotopia, we discuss the dilemma in approaching its diagnosis and management in a neonate. Competing Interests: Confillict of Interest: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest. (Copyright Istanbul Medeniyet University Faculty of Medicine.) |
