Teratomas are congenital tumors of stem cells derived from the three germ layers. They are frequently located in the sacrococcygeal region. Orbital teratoma is rare with less than 70 cases reported until 2016. We report the case of prenatal exophthalmia discovered by ultrasound exam which turned out to be a teratoma postnatally. The newborn in our case was female, just as described in the literature. Treatment consisted of total removal of the teratoma and the eyeball. Reconstructive surgery remains a big challenge since our medical technology is limited.
A prenatal exophthalmia on fetal ultrasound should make us think of a teratoma, even if it is very rare. Fetal orbital teratoma may be associated with fetal survival. The infant will benefit from a reconstructive surgery of the orbit.
畸胎瘤是源自三个胚层的干细胞先天性肿瘤。它们常位于骶尾部区域。眼眶畸胎瘤罕见，截至2016年报道的病例不足70例。我们报告了一例产前超声检查发现眼球突出，出生后证实为畸胎瘤的病例。我们病例中的新生儿为女性，正如文献中所描述的那样。治疗包括畸胎瘤和眼球的完全切除。由于我们的医疗技术有限，重建手术仍然是一个巨大的挑战。
胎儿超声检查发现的产前眼球突出应使我们想到畸胎瘤，即使其非常罕见。胎儿眼眶畸胎瘤可能与胎儿存活有关。婴儿将从眼眶重建手术中获益。
