title: [Congenital lesions of the naso-frontal midline].
abstract: Dermoids cysts, gliomas and encephaloceles are uncommon congenital lesions that result from an aberrant embryologic development. Six cases of these nasal lesions have been treated. These may present an intracranial extension as a consequence of an unusual closure of the anterior neural tube and it requires an early diagnosis to avoid local and intracranial infectious complications. Therefore, an early surgical correction is thus imperative. Neuroimaging studies may help to predict intracranial involvement.
