Abstract
Heterotopic brain tissue is a rare is congenital anomaly, it may present at any age but it is frequently in infancy. This anomaly can occur most frequently in nasal region, although rests elsewhere in the digestive tract, in facial tissue or in lungs have been reported. Heterotopic brain tissue has been defined as a mass composed of mature brain tissue, outside the cranial cavity or spinal canal. We present a 9 years old girl with history of left chronic otitis and nasal obstruction caused by heterotopic brain tissue in pterygopalatine fossa
