title: [Diagnostic and surgical approach to an hourglass-shaped nasopalatine glioma in an infant].
abstract: The authors report a case of glioma nasopalatine Multifoil in wallet, location-intra nasal and palatal left. The nasal glioma is a rare congenital malformation presenting as a nasal mass composed of neuroglial tissue heteropias resulting from an abnormality in embryonic development. It is a benign tumor that fits into the nosology of the masses of the midline. This abnormality arises primarily a diagnostic problem because often mistaken for a meningo-encephalocele or a nasal dermoid cyst. Localization nose and palate, an hourglass, is extremely rare if not exceptional; The computed tomography (CT) has enabled the accurate assessment of injury and has guided the choice of surgical technique. The resection was done successfully without recurrence. Histology examination of the surgical specimen confirmed the nature of astrocytic neuroglial tumor. The location of the tumor pedide palate to that of the left nostril is special and especially histological diagnosis of this congenital malformation.
