Cerebellar Heterotopia in the Orbit

Clinical Anophthalmia With Orbital Heterotopic Brain Tissue

“…Ectopic sequestration of brain tissue in the orbit is uncommon. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] We report an unusual case of a patient diagnosed as having clinical anophthalmia with ectopic brain tissue in the orbit without any communication with the intracranial cavity and without the presence of a formed or rudimentary eye, although disorganized retinal pigment epithelial cells could be identified on histopathologic examination. There is only one case cited in the literature similar to the one examined by us.…”

Cerebellar Heterotopia of the Cervical Cord (A Case Report)

“…To the best of the authors' knowledge no previous case of macroscopic cerebellar heterotopia presenting in an adult has been reported, all previously reported cases presented in infancy or childhood (Billings & Danzinger 1973, Call & Baylis 1980, Marubayashi & Matsukado 1978, Rorke et al 1968Suneson & Kalimo 1979. The reason for presentation in this case is speculative, perhaps related to the development of anterior discogenic compression of the already compromised thecal sac, the discogenic bulges being degenerative and secondary to the associated fusion of the C.4, C.5 and C.6 vertebral bodies.…”

Glial heterotopia of the orbit and extranasal region: an unusual entity

“…The most common reported site of heterotopic neuroglial tissue is in and around the nose 1,2 . There are very few reports in the literature regarding the presence of glial heterotopia in the orbit and extranasal region 2–8 . We herein report an unusual case of glial heterotopia of the orbit and extranasal region without bony defect.…”
