Nasal glial heterotopia
ID: nasal-glial-heterotopia
Nasal glial heterotopia is a rare congenital condition characterized by the presence of ectopic (abnormally located) glial tissue in the nasal cavity. This condition occurs when neural tissue, specifically glial cells that normally support neurons in the central nervous system, becomes separated from the brain during embryonic development and migrates to the nasal area.
