[Case report on a nasal glioma: review of the literature].
A nasal glioma was discovered during routine examination of the nasal cavity patency of a newborn. An excision of the lesion was done by an intranasal approach under general anaesthesia. The intranasal endoscopic approach is strongly recommended for the removal of intranasal gliomas. Angled (30 or 70 degrees) endoscopy allows visualisation of the cribriform plate which helps to rule out an intracranial extension.
