Mature teratoma of the pituitary-hypothalamic region is rarely reported in the literature. In this article, we present a 13-year-old girl with clinical and radiological findings that were initially considered as germinoma. However, histological examinations disclosed a mature teratoma. This case highlights that the radiation-induced cerebral edema caused acute hydrocephalus. The mature teratoma is not radiosensitive, and the most appropriate treatment is direct surgery.
垂体 - 下丘脑区域的成熟畸胎瘤在文献中鲜有报道。在本文中,我们介绍了一名13岁女孩,其临床和影像学表现最初被认为是生殖细胞瘤。然而,组织学检查显示为成熟畸胎瘤。该病例突出表明,放射诱发的脑水肿导致了急性脑积水。成熟畸胎瘤对放疗不敏感,最恰当的治疗方法是直接手术。
