Abstract

Glial heterotopia of oropharynx is a congenital anomaly, whereby ectopic mature glial tissue is found around oropharynx isolated from the brain and spinal cord. Herein we report a rare presentation of a mass at the base of tongue in a neonate. In addition, to underscore the rarity of oropharygeal glial heterotopia, we discuss the dilemma in approaching its diagnosis and management in a neonate.

Özet

Orofarinksin glial heterotopisi, ektopik matür glial dokunun orofarinks çevresinde beyin ve omurilikten izole olarak ayrı bir şekilde bulunduğu bir konjenital anomalidir. Burada bir yenidoğanda dil tabanındaki bir kitlenin nadir bir prezentasyonunu sunmaktayız. Buna ek olarak orofarinksin glial heterotopisinin enderliğine vurgu yapmak üzere yenidoğanda tanısı ve tedavi yönetimindeki ikilemi tartışmaktayız.
