title: Intracranial teratoma: prolonged neonatal survival after prenatal diagnosis.
abstract: The prenatal diagnosis of an intracranial teratoma has been generally associated with either fetal death or very brief postnatal infant survival. A case is reported in which such a neonate survived for a month and was discharged home, despite the in utero diagnosis of a massive tumor.
