Nasal glioma presenting with strabismus.
Congenital midline nasal masses are rare anomalies that occur in about 1 in 20,000 to 40,000 live births. Nasal gliomas are thought to be collections of heterotopic tissue of neurogenic origin, which have lost their intracranial connection. It rarely cause ocular distortion and deformity in the medial orbital wall. We describe here a case of a 12-month-old baby girl diagnosed as extranasal glioma at the lateral nasal wall and medial orbital wall presenting with strabismus and subsequently treated in our service and perform a literature review.
