RECURRENT INTRA NASAL GLIOMA: A CASE REPORT

Nasal gliomas are rare congenital mild-line tumors often misdiagnosed as encephalocele, midline dermoid. Nasal gliomas constitute about 5% of congenital midline swellings. Imaging preferably by MRI is mandated to study the extent and to rule out intracranial extension. The gold standard treatment is...

Summary:Nasal gliomas are rare congenital mild-line tumors often misdiagnosed as encephalocele, midline dermoid. Nasal gliomas constitute about 5% of congenital midline swellings. Imaging preferably by MRI is mandated to study the extent and to rule out intracranial extension. The gold standard treatment is surgical excision and histo-pathological confirmation. We present a case of recurrent intranasal glioma without any intracranial extension presented as swelling in the nose, excised by lateral rhinotomy approach. KEYWORDS: Encephalocele, Hemangioma, Lateral rhinotomy, Nasal glioma, Nasal dermoid.
