Neonatal nasopharyngeal teratomas are extremely rare and there are few reports describing both CT and MRI features of these lesions.
To describe the CT and MRI appearances of neonatal nasopharyngeal teratoma.
Three neonates with nasopharyngeal teratomas and severe respiratory distress were reviewed.
The nasopharyngeal mass resulted in severe respiratory compromise requiring urgent intervention. Characteristic mandibular and pterygoid plate abnormalities demonstrated by CT and MRI are described.
Prenatal MRI enables the diagnosis, delineates tumour extent and allows planned delivery. CT and MRI play a key role in differentiating neonatal nasopharyngeal teratomas from other causes of a neonatal neck mass, thus optimising management.
新生儿鼻咽部畸胎瘤极为罕见，关于这些病变的CT和MRI特征的报道很少。
描述新生儿鼻咽部畸胎瘤的CT和MRI表现。
回顾了3例患有鼻咽部畸胎瘤并伴有严重呼吸窘迫的新生儿。
鼻咽部肿块导致严重的呼吸功能不全，需要紧急干预。描述了CT和MRI显示的特征性下颌骨和翼板异常。
产前MRI有助于诊断，可描绘肿瘤范围并允许计划分娩。CT和MRI在区分新生儿鼻咽部畸胎瘤与新生儿颈部肿块的其他病因方面起着关键作用，从而优化治疗。
