Abstract
Nasal gliomas are congenital masses of dysplastic neuroglial and fibrovascular tissue. However, other congenital nasal masses, including encephaloceles, hemangiomas, and dermoid cysts make clinical diagnosis difficult. Radiological examination is imperative to accurate diagnosis of nasal gliomas. We hereby present the diagnostic imaging features of these lesions, which necessitate inclusion into the differential diagnosis of a congenital nasal mass.
