5 cases of brain tumor in newborn babies under 2 months are presented. 4 of them were supratentorial teratoma and originated from the midline, and 1 was a glioma at the cerebelloponitine angle. 2 cases died before surgery and 2 cases after surgery. In our 5th case a benign teratoma of 150 g was removed from the third ventricle. He was discharged and enjoyed rather good health for 2 years and 1 month before dying of recurrence of tumor. Internal hydrocephalus associated with the huge tumor was responsible for the sudden deterioration of general condition. Therefore, shunting procedures should be performed as the first aid. However, in our experiences, the conditions at admission were the critical and/or too late to be beneficial. Thus early diagnosis is absolutely necessary for surgical treatment. A summary and discussion of the data of 103 previously reported cases are included.
本文报告了5例2个月以下新生儿脑肿瘤病例。其中4例为幕上畸胎瘤，起源于中线，1例为小脑桥脑角胶质瘤。2例在手术前死亡，2例在手术后死亡。第5例患者从第三脑室切除了一个150克的良性畸胎瘤。他出院后健康状况良好，持续了2年1个月，之后死于肿瘤复发。与巨大肿瘤相关的内部脑积水导致了全身状况的突然恶化。因此，分流手术应作为急救措施。然而，根据我们的经验，入院时的病情危急且/或为时已晚，无法从中受益。因此，手术治疗绝对需要早期诊断。本文还包括了对之前报道的103例病例数据的总结和讨论。
