described in only four previous reports [1, 7, 8, 11]. These lesions vary primarily in the …

Heterotopic brain presenting as a giant, growing, single locular cyst at the parapharyngeal
space has not been reported before, to our knowledge. We present such a case, with MR …

encephaloceles. They present as a mass in or about the nose (nasal glioma) or in the …

We report the case of a 4-year-old boy who presen-ted with a congenital mass on the bridge
