A child aged 14 months presented with facial disfigurement due to an extra nasal swelling at the root and dorsum of the nose, present since birth, and increasing in size. The swelling was firm in consistency, noncompressible, and nonpulsatile. Cough impulse was absent. Magnetic resonance imaging was suggestive of nasal glioma without intranasal or intracranial extension. Following complete surgical excision, primary reconstruction was required with a local transposition forehead flap. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of nasal glioma.
