Abstract
Congenital midline nasal masses are rare lesions, occurring once in every 20,000 to 40,000 live births. 1 – 3 Of these, nasal encephalocele, glioma, and dermoid cysts are the most common and have a potential intracranial extension. 2 – 4 The exact incidence of nasal glioma is not well known, but to our knowledge a total of 164 cases have been reported in the literature to date.
