Intrapericardial teratoma is a rare mediastinal tumor that originates from aberrant clusters of multipotential cells from three germinal layers. Previous reports have used the combination of cardiac angiography, CT scan, and echocardiogram to establish the diagnosis prior to surgery. We report a case of intrapericardial teratoma diagnosed noninvasively and removed surgically within the first three days of life. Furthermore, we compare the diagnostic accuracy of echocardiography and computerized tomography (CT), and discuss the superiority of noninvasive evaluation in the management of these critically ill infants.
心包内畸胎瘤是一种罕见的纵隔肿瘤，起源于三个胚层的多能细胞异常聚集。既往报道在手术前通过心脏血管造影、CT扫描和超声心动图联合检查来确诊。我们报告了一例心包内畸胎瘤患儿，在出生后三天内通过非侵入性方法确诊并接受了手术切除。此外，我们比较了超声心动图和计算机断层扫描（CT）的诊断准确性，并讨论了非侵入性评估在这些危重症婴儿管理中的优势。
