Heterotopic Neuroglial Tissue Causing Airway Obstruction in the Newborn

Abstract: Heterotopic neuroglial tissue must be considered in the differential diagnosis of airway obstruction in the newborn. Management is surgical resection, with attention to vital structures and function-analogous to surgery for lymphangioma. Multiple surgical procedures might be necessary in the treatment of these patients.

“…The high soft tissue resolution of MRI enables the specific characterisation of size and extent of the mass and any displacement of adjacent structures. In all pulse sequences, NH has a signal intensity that is similar to normal brain tissue [4]. The vascularity of the lesion may affect the degree of contrast enhancement noted.…”

“…Since Reid first reported a case of NH in 1852 [4], several terms have been used to describe this type of lesion, including glioneural or neuroglial choristoma, glioneural hamartoma, brain heterotopia, heterotopic brain tissue and ectopic brain, among others [5]. The term choristoma is used synonymously with heterotopia to define histologically normal tissue occurring in an abnormal location [5].…”

“…It remains rare, with reports on neuroglial heterotopic tissue in the scalp, neck, palate, lips and middle ear, while there are fewer descriptions on neuroglial heterotopia in the pharynx and parapharyngeal space. 1,2 The etiology is unclear. Several mechanisms have been proposed but none have been able to explain this abnormality satisfactorily.…”

“…The lesion is usually found in newborn infants for whom no gestational abnormalities were observed, and it is very rare in adults. 2 The classical symptoms are respiratory distress, neck mass and feeding difficulties. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic reso-nance imaging (MRI) are useful for ruling out diagnoses of dura mater communication and cranial defects.…”
