Heterotopic brain tissue is an unusual substance which is very difficult to diagnose correctly preoperatively. We report on a 7-month-old male infant with heterotopic brain tissue of the soft palate, and describe the results of preoperative examinations including brain scintigraphy, angiography, brain computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI was found useful to show that the tumor had no junction with the intracranial space. The patient was treated successfully without complication or recurrence after 1.5 years follow-up.
异位脑组织是一种不常见的物质，术前很难正确诊断。我们报告一例7个月大的男性婴儿患有软腭异位脑组织，并描述了术前检查的结果，包括脑闪烁显像、血管造影、脑计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像（MRI）。发现MRI有助于显示肿瘤与颅内空间无连接。该患者在随访1.5年后成功治愈，无并发症或复发。
