Area of Science:

Otolaryngology
Pediatric Surgery
Congenital Malformations

Background:

Epipharyngeal teratomas are uncommon congenital anomalies.
These lesions can lead to significant respiratory distress and stridor in newborns.

Observation:

Congenital stridor, dyspnea, and rhinitis require careful diagnostic evaluation.
Radiographic imaging is essential to rule out central nervous system malformations.

Findings:

The primary management involves securing the infant's airway.
Early surgical excision is recommended to prevent potential malignant transformation.
Prompt intervention avoids risks such as asphyxia and permanent facial distortion.

Implications:
