Severe hydrocephalus secondary to a massive teratoma occupying the left lateral ventricle and protruding from the left orbit was diagnosed in a newborn infant. A craniofacial mass had been initially detected during labor by ultrasound examination. The pathophysiology of teratomas and the clinical course and ethical issues in management of this child are discussed.
