Abstract

An important part of the initial assessment of children presenting with congenital nasal masses is to exclude an intracranial extension using either magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) imaging.

We present three patients with such lesions in which unusual radiological findings were noted as part of the investigations.
