Abstract

Isolated heterotopic lesions of neuroglial tissue may rarely present in the head and neck, or they may be associated with other congenital deviations. In this article we present the case of a 7–month-old patient with a central lesion that emerged through the anterior part of a bilateral palatine fissure.
