Endoscopic treatment of so-called intranasal glioma.
Immunohistochemistry is useful to establish the pathological diagnosis of nasal glioma for which surgical excision is the unique treatment. Here we report a case of intranasal glioma found in a 5-month-old male patient. The tumor was successfully removed by endoscopic surgery. In the absence of a connection between the tumor and endocranial contents, we suggest to remove intranasal glioma by endoscopic surgery.
