Congenital intracranial immature teratoma in a preterm infant: illustrative case
We demonstrate a case of a rare congenital brain tumor in the pediatric population. We report the diagnostic and treatment challenges besides the effective intraoperative role of neoadjuvant chemotherapeutic agents. To our knowledge, the current case is one of the few published cases of intracranial immature teratoma that presented with ophthalmic manifestations.
