Disease Case

Objective: Optimal treatment of fetal intrapericardial teratoma is controversial, especially in regard to fetal intervention. Given the rarity of the disease case reports can assist in decision making. Case Report: We report on a neonate with a giant intrapericardial teratoma detected in utero, almost filling the entire thorax. Delivery was planned per cesarean section with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) stand-by. As a surprise the child adopted very well after birth, requiring only continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The tumor was resected on the next day without injuring cardiac structures. The child was and discharged on day 10 post-surgery. Conclusion: Our case supports the assumption that even in very large tumors the postnatal course can be benign, if there is no fetal hydrops.

Initial Blood

Limitation on space made by the journal necessitated the brevity of the case report, and, therefore, a detailed account of the neonatal hospital course was not included in our article. At birth, the Apgar score was 8, and the baby required bagging with oxygen for three minutes. Initial blood gas determinations in 40% oxygen showed a PaO2 of > 100 mm Hg. At 20 hours of age, moderate respiratory distress developed, requiring nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
