    Neonatal intrapericardial teratoma, a rare cardiac tumor, requires early diagnosis for better outcomes. Surgical removal in a newborn led to significant recovery, demonstrating effective treatment for this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Neonatal intrapericardial teratoma is a rare congenital cardiac tumor.
    • Early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention are crucial for favorable prognosis.
    • Pericardial compression can lead to severe cardiorespiratory distress in neonates.

    Observation:

    • A case of a female neonate diagnosed with intrapericardial teratoma via prenatal echocardiography at 34 weeks gestation.
    • Progressive pericardial effusion and signs of atrial compression necessitated intervention.
    • An elective Cesarean section at 38 weeks gestation was performed, followed by immediate surgical tumor removal.

    Findings:

    • Pathological examination confirmed the presence of a mature teratoma.
    • The neonate experienced a favorable postoperative course.

  • Radiological and echocardiographic assessments showed significant improvement post-surgery.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of prenatal diagnosis of neonatal intrapericardial teratoma.
    • Early surgical management can lead to dramatic improvement in symptoms of pericardial compression.
    • Prompt treatment offers a positive outlook for affected neonates, improving survival and quality of life.
