Giant epignathus, a rare newborn teratoma, presents significant survival challenges. This case highlights successful treatment and provides crucial prenatal and neonatal management recommendations for improved infant outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Neonatal Care
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Giant epignathus, a teratoma protruding from a newborn's mouth, is associated with a historically low survival rate.
  • Effective management requires a multidisciplinary approach and specialized neonatal care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a successful treatment of a giant epignathus in a neonate.
  • To present updated prenatal and neonatal recommendations for managing this rare condition.

Main Methods:

  • Delivery via cesarean section.
  • Preparation of an adjacent operating room for immediate neonatal intervention.
  • Assembling a standby team of neonatologists, anesthesiologists, and pediatric surgeons.

Main Results:
