Intracranial teratomas in neonates can cause cranial enlargement. Subtotal excision of a mature teratoma led to a long-term survivor, highlighting size and location as key prognostic factors.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Pediatric Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Intracranial teratomas are rare tumors in neonates.
  • Cranial enlargement is a presenting symptom.

Observation:

  • Two neonates with intracranial teratomas presented with cranial enlargement.
  • Surgical intervention was performed on both cases.

Findings:

  • One neonate died intraoperatively.
  • The other neonate survived for over 7 years after subtotal excision of a mature teratoma.
  • This case represents the longest known survival after such surgery.

Implications:

  • Size and location are critical prognostic indicators for intracranial teratomas.
  • Subtotal excision of mature teratomas can lead to long-term survival in pediatric patients.
