Occipital glial heterotopia: A rare entity with important clinical considerations

Glial heterotopia are rare, benign tumors most commonly found around the nasal cavity, but extra-nasal heterotopias have also been observed. We present an anatomically rare case of glial heterotopia overlying the left occipital condyle. Excisional biopsy was performed and histopathology was consiste...
