    Intrapericardial teratomas are rare congenital tumors causing severe cardiorespiratory distress in infants. Early diagnosis via echocardiography and surgical removal offer a curative outcome for this benign condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Congenital Abnormalities

    Background:

    • Intrapericardial teratoma is a rare congenital tumor.
    • It is typically attached to the ascending aorta.
    • Associated with massive pericardial effusion, cardiac compression, and cardiorespiratory distress.

    Observation:

    • Two infant cases of intrapericardial teratoma are presented.
    • Echocardiography and cardiac cineangiography were diagnostic tools.
    • Tumors were attached to the ascending aorta with significant pericardial effusion.

    Findings:

    • Both tumors were confirmed as generally benign.
    • Successful surgical removal was achieved in both infants.
    • Prompt diagnosis and intervention were crucial.

    Implications:

    • Early surgical excision is curative for intrapericardial teratoma.
    • This highlights the importance of prompt diagnostic imaging in neonates with cardiorespiratory distress.
    • Further research into congenital heart tumors is warranted.
