Image-guided transoral resection of recurrent parapharyngeal space glial heterotopia

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    Intranasal glial heterotopia is an uncommon congenital nasal lesion of neuroectoderm origin. Involvement of the parapharyngeal space is extremely rare. We present a case report of a newborn with life-threatening respiratory distress and feeding difficulty caused by a nasal glial heterotopia in a rare location involving the nasopharynx and parapharyngeal space. Surgical treatment was done in a staged fashion, involving image guidance for recurrence. Other diagnostic and treatment options are reviewed in the light of current literature. © 2013.
