    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-oncology
    • Pediatric Pathology

    Background:

    • Congenital brain tumors are rare neoplasms presenting at birth or within the neonatal period.
    • Understanding their characteristics is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • Two cases are presented: a fatal teratoma and a successfully resected cystic astrocytoma.
    • A review of 200 neonatal brain tumor cases from literature was conducted.
    • Common features included hydrocephalus, dystocia, and varied tumor types and locations.

    Findings:

    • Analysis covered symptoms, sex distribution, histology, prognosis, and associated anomalies.
    • Hemorrhage was noted as a significant complication.
    • Etiological factors for neonatal brain tumors were discussed.

    Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and appropriate management can lead to improved outcomes for certain congenital brain tumors.
    • Further research into the etiology of these rare tumors is warranted.
    • This review provides a comprehensive overview for clinicians and researchers in pediatric neuro-oncology.
