Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Intracranial teratomas represent a rare subset of neoplasms characterized by tissues derived from multiple germ layers within the cranial cavity. These tumors, originating from primordial germ cells, exhibit diverse clinical presentations and histopathological features. While predominantly located along the midline axis, including the suprasellar cistern and pineal region, they can also manifest in less common areas such as ventricles and hypothalamic regions. Histopathologically, they are classified as mature, immature, or malignant based on the degree of tissue differentiation.
CASE DESCRIPTION: Male patient with prenatal care for congenital hydrocephalus born at 38 weeks gestation with a bulging fontanelle. Postnatal imaging revealed an intraventricular lesion, later diagnosed through magnetic resonance imaging as a mature teratoma invading the lateral ventricle and extending to the hypothalamus. Surgical resection achieved total macroscopic removal followed by successful postoperative ventriculoperitoneal shunting due to evolving hydrocephalus.
CONCLUSION: Teratomas are uncommon tumors, and prognosis depends on tumor size and location, especially considering the rarity of mature teratomas. Complete surgical resection is paramount for treatment, leading to a better prognosis and quicker recovery. In cases where complete removal is challenging, adjuvant therapies and cerebrospinal fluid diversion may be required to enhance therapeutic outcomes and ensure successful resection.
