title: Gastric heterotopia in the nasopharynx causing airway obstruction in the newborn.
abstract: We describe a newborn boy with a gastric heterotopia located in the nasopharynx, which caused airway obstruction soon after delivery. Gastric heterotopia is an uncommon lesion generally found throughout the alimentary tract, but nasopharynx is an exceptional location. To our knowledge, this is the second reported case of gastric heterotopia located in the nasopharynx, and the first one presenting in a newborn with symptoms at birth and with an associated central nervous system mass.
