title: Nasal ganglioglioma--difficulties in radiological imaging.
abstract: Ganglioglioma is a tumour containing both astrocytic and neuronal components. Most gangliogliomas are observed in the brain, but may also manifest as a nasal glioma. Approximately 250 cases of nasal gliomas have been described in the literature. Gliomas are classified as heterotopias of glia tissue. In the paper we describe the case of nasal ganglioglioma and the diagnostic difficulties. The differences between ganglioglioma, nasal glioma and other congenital midline nasal masses are discussed.
