AB056. Management of a rare case of adult intracranial large temporal mature teratoma in limited neurosurgical care settings: a case report
We reported a rare case of intracranial large temporal mature teratoma of an adult. Despite the better prognosis of this tumor, patients should be followed up for a long period, as any malignant tumor, new or recurrent teratomas might arise. In our province, geographically we have only three neurosurgeons, all located in Kupang City, Timor Island, among total 42 inhabited islands. Low socioeconomic status, and financial problems usually become problems ended in lost to follow up. Further strategy to improve neurosurgical care is needed.
