Nasopharyngeal glioma in a new-born girl.
Nasal gliomas are uncommon tumours of neurogenic origin that occur sporadically. They are diagnosed with MRI and a preoperative biopsy, and surgery is the treatment of choice. Most of the gliomas emerge from the nasal cavity, but only a few cases of nasopharyngeal gliomas have been reported. We present one case of a nasopharyngeal glioma and two cases of nasal gliomas.
