Background: A ganglioglioma (GG), a tumor with both neuronal and astrocytic components, rarely occurs outside the central nervous system.Case Summary: We present the first reported case of a 1-month-old male with a congenital nasopharyngeal GG, nasal congestion, and dyspnea; we include the operative video. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to explore whether the tumor communicated with the intracranial space. We used an endoscopic plasma technique to ensure complete tumor resection. This afforded a good visual field, endoscopic magnification, and good hemostasis.Conclusions: We report a rare case of a nasopharyngeal GG triggering nasal congestion and dyspnea in a 1-month-old male, and report our experience with the treatment of nasopharyngeal GG and similar diseases.

“…MRI showed small meningocele in the right nasal frontal area and a narrow connection with the subarachnoid space. The combined internal and external approach was used to remove the lesions ( 5 ). Our case is totally located in the left lateral wall of the nasopharynx and the mass did not communicate with the intracranial space.…”

“…2 Approximately 250 cases have been reported in the literature. 3 While the etiology of this lesion is unknown, multiple theories regarding its origin abound. The most widely accepted hypothesis is the ''encephalocele theory,'' which states that both the encephalocele and glioma develop secondary to a failure of regression of the forebrain dural protrusion through the foramen cecum or fonticulus frontalis.…”

Nasal gliomas are congenital, nonmalignant rests of neuroglial tissue that typically present as a craniofacial mass. The differential diagnosis of such masses includes lesions that often require the involvement of various surgical subspecialties, including otolaryngology, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, and ophthalmology. Early surgical excision of these masses is advised to minimize nasal and craniofacial distortion. Accordingly, early diagnosis and management planning are paramount, and advances in prenatal imaging are creating a new role for obstetricians and radiologists in the initiation of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. We describe the case history of a young patient found to have a craniofacial mass on routine prenatal ultrasound and subsequently managed with a multidisciplinary team approach.

“…75 The suggested mechanisms for the pathogenesis of nasopharyngeal encephalocele involve either the failure of ossification of the skull base or the failure of the anterior neuropore to close by the end of the fourth week of gestation. 76,77 Clinically, the child may have a sense of nasal fullness or "open mouth" breathing due to obstruction of the nasopharynx. There are frequently associated CNS abnormalities (agenesis of the corpus callosum, hypoplasia of the optic nerve, dysfunction of the hypothalamus-pituitary axis).…”

Within the embryonic head, a layer of mesenchyme envelops the brain beneath the surface ectoderm. This cranial mesenchyme is responsible for the formation of the meninges, the calvaria (upper portion of the skull), and the scalp's dermis. Irregular development of these structures, particularly the meninges and the calvaria, is associated with notable congenital defects in humans, such as defects in neural tube closure. Anencephaly is the most common neural tube defect (NTD) and one of the most severe malformations of the central nervous system; it consists in the complete or partial absence of the brain, associated with the absence of the bones of the cranial vault. Iniencephaly is an uncommon congenital NTD characterized by abnormalities in the occipital region, including rachischisis of the cervicothoracic spine and a fixed retroflexion deformity of the head. Unlike anencephaly, in iniencephaly, there is a skull cavity and a normal-looking skin that entirely covers the head and the medullary retroflex area. Cephaloceles are congenital abnormalities distinguished by the protrusion of meninges and/or brain tissue through a naturally occurring defect in the skull bone. This anomaly is typically covered by skin or mucous membrane. Intracranial lipoma is a relatively uncommon and generally benign tumor that occurs in an abnormal location within the brain; it probably represents a disturbance of the differentiation of the primordial meninges: for unknown causes, the meningeal mesenchyme can differentiate into adipose tissue. Arachnoid cysts are sacs filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) situated between the brain or spinal cord and the arachnoid membrane. Typically, these cysts originate within CSF cisterns and gradually expand their boundaries. Craniosynostosis is the early fusion of one or more cranial sutures. It can occur spontaneously, be associated with a syndrome, or have a familial connection. It can involve one or multiple cranial sutures. Pfeiffer's, Crouzon's, and Apert's syndromes are among the more prevalent syndromic craniosynostoses.
