ABSTRACT
Nasal gliomas are rare benign congenital midline tumors composed of heterotopic neuroglial tissue with the potential for intracranial extension. They are commomly seen in newborns and children but rarely in adults. Preoperative diagnostic imaging is essential to delineate the exact site and extension of tumor and to plan the appropriate surgical approach. Endoscopic surgery is considered appropriate for the removal of intranasal glioma without intracranial extension. We experienced a case of nasophryngeal glioma in a newborn who had been presented with respiratory distress. The tumor was successfully removed by endoscopic surgery. So we report this rare case with the review of literatures.
