TI  - The Differential Diagnosis of Congenital Developmental Midline Nasal Masses: 
      Histopathological, Clinical, and Radiological Aspects.

AB  - Developmental midline nasal masses including nasal dermoids (NDs), encephaloceles 
      (EPHCs), and nasal glial heterotopias (NGHs) are a consequence of disrupted 
      embryonal developmental processes in the frontonasal region. Surgery is the only 
      method of treatment in order to prevent local and intracranial inflammatory 
      complications as well as distant deformities of the facial skeleton. Due to their 
      rarity, similar location, and clinical and radiological symptoms, meticulous 
      preoperative differential diagnostics is mandatory. The aim of this thorough 
      literature review was to present and discuss all clinical, histopathological, and 
      radiological aspects of NDs, NGHs, and EPHCs that are crucial for their 
      differential diagnosis.
