We report a successfully surgically intervened case of intrapericardial teratoma, which was diagnosed prenatally. Intrapericardial teratomas are rare cases, and surgical management of those tumors are challenging in this age group. The compression effect of the mass led to misdiagnosis of the anomaly as a transposition of the great vessels. We conclude that intrauterine echocardiography in experienced hands is an essential tool for the follow-up of these patients to detect the pericardial effusion and compression of the cardiac structures, which may cause tamponade and heart failure.
我们报告一例经手术成功干预的心包内畸胎瘤病例，该病例在产前已被诊断。心包内畸胎瘤较为罕见，在这个年龄组中对这些肿瘤进行手术治疗具有挑战性。肿块的压迫效应导致该异常被误诊为大血管转位。我们得出结论，由经验丰富的人员进行宫内超声心动图检查是对这些患者进行随访的重要工具，以检测可能导致心包填塞和心力衰竭的心包积液及心脏结构受压情况。
