A 66-years-old female presented with impaired hearing of two-year duration and a recent ear discharge. High-resolution computed tomography and intra-operative findings showed a mass lesion in the right middle ear cavity that was unconnected with the brain. A histopathological diagnosis of glial heterotopia was made and an etiopathogenic hypothesis was analysed.

() is a causative gene for genetic hydrocephalus found in hemorrhagic hydrocephalus () mice. The knockout (KO) rat has subcortical heterotopia with frequent brain hemorrhage as seen in mice. In this study, we report aberrant alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression in the wall of lateral ventricle of the KO rats.

Choristomas are aggregates of microscopically normal tissues in aberrant locations. They can be cartilage, bone, glial tissue, salivary gland, and thyroid tissue. Cartilaginous choristomas of the oral cavity are rare and occur most commonly on the tongue and less often in sites such as the soft palate and gingiva.

Subcortical heterotopia is a cortical malformation associated with epilepsy, intellectual disability, and an excessive number of cortical neurons in the white matter. Echinoderm microtubule-associated protein like 1 (EML1) mutations lead to subcortical heterotopia, associated with abnormal radial glia positioning in the cortical wall, prior to malformation onset. This perturbed distribution of proliferative cells is likely to be a critical event for heterotopia formation; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unexplained.

The uncommon, non-hereditary congenital abnormalities known as nasal glial heterotopias (NGH) are composed of heterotopic neuroglial tissue. Typically, NGH manifests in infancy, but occasionally it can also be seen in older children and adults. To rule out intracranial extension, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans should be performed.

Article Synopsis
- * A 3-year-old girl was found to have a cystic mass in her abdomen, leading to successful laparoscopic surgery, where the cysts contained various types of nerve and glial tissue.
- * Most children with retroperitoneal neuroglial heterotopia are asymptomatic and may not show obvious signs; while complete surgical removal usually yields a good outcome, more research is needed to assess long-term results.
