“…Only a few cases of congenital intracranial teratomas have been reported in history so far making them a relatively rare entity. One such case of congenital intra-cranial teratoma is reported by Enrique C et al where they successfully removed the entire tumor from neonate [7]. They also advocated that the outcome and long-term survival At the age of 9 months, she was brought to our Clinic and she subsequently underwent craniotomy and excision of the tumor.…”

Background: Mature intracranial teratoma in the pediatric population is a rare entity. They are sometimes associated with genetic syndromes but complete surgical excision is associated with good outcome and prognosis. Case Presentation:A 3 months old baby girl presented in the clinic with left eye proptosis, MRI brain showed temporal and retro-orbital multiple cystic lesions, which were excised and biopsy showed mature teratoma. The patient was discharged and followed in the clinic. Conclusion:This case underlies that mature brain teratoma may present at an early age even at birth. They are rare intracranial tumors and may be associated with other genetic syndromes. A high index of suspicion should be present when coming across such complex lesions in neonates. Although the overall outcome of these tumors is generally poor, among the children that survive, complete microsurgical excision of the tumor is associated with good outcome and prognosis. In cases of mature teratomas, we advocate that complete removal should be carried out. In cases of the residual disease, reoperation is indicated to achieve good results.

“…Teratoma is the most common fetal tumor; intracranial teratoma is second in frequency only to sacrococcygeal teratoma [6,9,10]. The first reported case of massive congenital intracranial teratoma was described by Breslau and Rindfleish in 1864.…”

We present a case of congenital massive intracranial teratoma with extracranial extension into oral cavity, nose, and neck diagnosed by antenatal ultrasonography at 25 weeks of gestation. The fetus was delivered by cesarean section because of massive fetal head size and severe maternal pregnancy-induced hypertension. At necropsy the tumor was found to be an immature teratoma, with no recognizable normal brain tissue. An additional finding was hepatomegaly secondary to extensive extramedullary hematopoiesis. Karyotyping of both the fetus and the teratoma revealed a normal female chromosomal composition: 46,XX.

“…Hobekuntza hori zenbait faktoreri esker izan da, batez ere gaixotasunaren eta umeen arretari buruzko ezagutza handiagoari esker, batik bat neurokirurgia, onkologia edo arreta berezien ikuspuntutik (10,15). Kirurgia aldetik, tumore hauen erauzketa osoa zaila da haien ezaugarri propioengatik, batez ere haien tamainagatik eta odola isurtzeko gaitasunagatik, duten aferentzia eta eferentzia baskularrengatik.…”

LaburpenaLan honen helburua Gurutzetako Unibertsitate Ospitalean urtebete baino gutxiagoko umeengan agertu diren nerbio-sistema zentraleko tumoreen kasuak eta haien gaineko literatura berrikustea izan da. Urtebete edo gutxiagoko umeengan 2001-2016 bitartean diagnostitatutako NSZko tumoreen kasuak ikertu dira. Haien diagnosi-adina, kokapena, tratamendu neurokirurgikoa, hidrozefaliaren agerpena, biziraupena eta gaixotasunaren segimendua berrikusi dira. Gurutzeta Unibertsitate Ospitaleko Onkologia-Hematologia-Pediatriako Unitatean 2001-2016 urteen artean artatutako NSZko tumorea izan zuten 14 urtetik beherako 158 pazienteen artean, urtebetetik beherako 16 tratatu ziren. Hamalau tumore supratentorialak izan ziren, bat infratentoriala eta beste bat ornomuin zerbikalean zegoen kokaturik. Kasu batean, diagnosia jaio aurrekoa izan zen. Anatomia patologikoari dagokionez, hamar gliomak izan ziren (bi gradu altukoak eta zortzi gradu baxukoak), hiru PNET (tumore neuroektodermiko primitiboa) infratentorialak, plexu koroideetako papiloma atipikoa bat, teratoide rabdoide atipiko bat, PNET supratentorial bat eta beste bat tumore neuroektodermiko melanozitikoa. Hamalau pazienterengan prozedura kirurgikoren bat gauzatu zen, eta hamabi kasutan kraniotomia eta neurri desberdinetako erauzketa izan ziren. Talde horretako bik prozedura kirurgiko bat baino gehiago behar izan zuten. Beste paziente birengan, kraniotomiaren ordez, biopsia estereotaktikoa baino ez zen egin orratz baten bitartez, diagnosia izanik helburu bakarra. Kirurgia ez zen mahaigaineratu gaixo biren kasuan, nerbio optikoko gliomen susmoa zegoelako. Gradu altuko tumoreetan, bost urteko biziraupena izan zuen kasu batean izan ezik, besteak ez ziren hain epe luzera heldu. Bi prozedura kirurgikoan bertan hil ziren. Gradu baxuko tumoreak zituzten hamarretik bederatzi bizirik daude oraindik, batez besteko 3,8 urteko biziraupenarekin. Bestea, 4,3 urte iraun eta gero, hil egin zen. Urtebete baino gutxiago duten umeen garuneko tumoreen ezaugarriak (portaera, pronostikoa…) eta nagusiagoenak nahiko desberdinak dira; talde haren ezaugarriak bereziak dira alegia. Gradu altuko tumoreetan, pronostikoak oso aurkakoa izaten jarraitzen du, hobetzeko ahaleginean ekin arren. Jatorrizko artikulua
