“…Usually they consist of fibrillary neuroglial tissue with a prominent network of glial fibres, gemistocytic type astrocytes in background of neuropil, representing classic neuroglial tissue. It may be arranged in a lobular pattern and cystic structures may be present as well [9]. There is no fluid filled space connected to the subarachnoid space.…”

“…It may be arranged in a lobular pattern and cystic structures may be present as well. 16 There is no fluid filled space connected to the subarachnoid space. About 90% of the reported nasal gliomas do not contain neurons, explained by either inadequate supply of oxygen to provide support the neurons or failure of the neurons to differentiate from the embryonic neuroectoderm in an intranasal glioma or both.…”

Nasal gliomas are rare congenital lesions arising from defective embryonic development, often termed as Nasal glial heterotopias. It manifests as a mass of extra-cranial cerebral tissue unconnected with the brain. Clinically, these masses are firm and incompressible. Histopathologically, they consist of neuroglial cells and astrocytes embedded in fibrous and vascular connective tissue. Radiological investigations, such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be done to rule out intracranial extension. The mass was completely resected endoscopically which was attached to the anterior part of the nasal septum. Endoscopic technique provides excellent visualization. We report one case of nasal glial heterotopia in a baby from southern part of Odisha which has an unusual attachment over the septum. A review of the literatures regarding nasal glioma is also presented.

Developmental midline nasal masses including nasal dermoids (NDs), encephaloceles (EPHCs), and nasal glial heterotopias (NGHs) are a consequence of disrupted embryonal developmental processes in the frontonasal region. Surgery is the only method of treatment in order to prevent local and intracranial inflammatory complications as well as distant deformities of the facial skeleton. Due to their rarity, similar location, and clinical and radiological symptoms, meticulous preoperative differential diagnostics is mandatory. The aim of this thorough literature review was to present and discuss all clinical, histopathological, and radiological aspects of NDs, NGHs, and EPHCs that are crucial for their differential diagnosis.
