Abstract:
We report a rare tumor of the nasopharynx in the neonate: the teratoid or hairy polyp. In addition to the traditional modes of evaluation (barium swallow, plain radiography, and indirect laryngoscopy), CT and magnetic resonance were used to assess this unusual cause of respiratory distress and vomiting in a newborn.
