Glial heterotopia of the face.

The authors report a case of combined subcutaneous and intranasal glial heterotopia of the face in a 4-month-old boy. The pathogenesis and differential diagnoses of this rare developmental disorder are discussed as is the importance of careful radiologic findings for appropriate surgical decision.

Local injections of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (Gm-CSF) for the treatment of radiation-induced mucosa ulcers.

We report two cases illustrating how Gm-CSF can facilitate rapid and persistent healing of ulcers associated with contact radiation therapy. This simple and safe method should be proposed for the treatment of chronic ulcers that develop in a formerly radiated zone.
