Abstract

Injuries to the naso-frontal region in children are a diagnostic challenge, associated
with their rarity, their complexity also implies their potential communication with
the central nervous system. Dermoid cysts, nasal gliomas, and encephaloceles are
among the main entities in this region. An inappropriate diagnostic and therapeutic
approach could generate from simple recurrences (as in our case), to fistulas and infections
of the central nervous system that could contribute to greater complications
or even put the lives of patients at risk.
