Abstract:
Congenital midline nasal anomalies are rare, with a prevalence of 1 in 20,000 to 40,000 births and with 5% to 7% of them being nasal glioma. Differential diagnoses of nasal anomalies include nasal dermoid cysts, gliomas, encephaloceles, nasal polyps, and some other rare anomalies. Due to current medical technological advancements, most of these anomalies are easily correctable, though delaying management may lead to fatal effects. This report describes two cases-one of nasal glioma and one of nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis-that presented as respiratory distress in a newborn. Approximately 10 to 20 cases of these two conditions have been described; notably, this is the second documented case of nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis with nasal presentation.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
