Abstract Background: Neuroglial heterotopia, characterized by mature neuroglial tissue outside the central nervous system, has not been previously associated with cranioschisis. Case Report: A 4-year-old female patient, with left congenital anophthalmia, had a nasofrontal neuroglial heterotopia protruding through an ossification defect. Discussion: Nasofrontal cranioschisis may be associated with neuroglial heterotopias. The combination of anophthalmia and neuroglial heterotopia, previously described only once in the literature, may be part of a broader malformation spectrum that has not been properly characterized to date.
