An orbital teratoma operated on the 2nd day after birth--a case report.
This is a case report of an intraorbital tumour found soon after delivery in otherwise normal girl. The clinical manifestation were so intensive that the operation was performed within 24 hours after birth. Histologically a benign teratoma presenting almost all possible tissues was diagnosed. In the follow up the girl's bilateral eye-function was satisfactory and she was doing well.
