Abstract

We present a neonate with heterotopic nasopharyngeal brain tissue causing airway obstruction. Preoperative imaging showed extension of the mass along major neurovascular pathways into the cranial vault. Preoperative identification of intracranial extension is essential for planning surgery to prevent postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leaks or possible meningitis.
