[Congenital intracranial teratoma with exophthalmos].
We report the rare case of a term newborn with an excessively large congenital, intracranial teratoma expanding into the right orbita and maxilla. The main symptoms were a total unilateral exophthalmos, a tumorous mass in the right cheek, macrocephaly with wide sutures, and a bulging fontanel. The diagnosis was confirmed by sonography, computed tomography and an exploratory excision from the retromaxillary region.
