After observation, she returned at the age of 4 with dysphagia and a visible mass in the same area. Subsequent CT imaging revealed a mass in the right parapharyngeal space, prompting surgical intervention. Histological examination after resection confirmed the diagnosis of neuroglial heterotopia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Neuroglial heterotopia manifests with various symptoms in pediatric patients, posing diagnostic challenges due to the lack of specific radiological or clinical features distinguishing it from other neck masses in children.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case highlights the significance of considering neuroglial heterotopia in pediatric neck region masses diagnoses.
