Epignathi are unusual congenital tumours presenting as oropharyngeal masses, often resulting in rapid asphyxia following birth. Occasionally, intracranial extension of the tumour is present, and two such cases are described. The presence of this complication, diagnosable by ultrasound examination, indicates that aggressive surgical treatment is inappropriate.
口鼻寄生胎是一种罕见的先天性肿瘤，表现为口咽肿块，常导致出生后迅速窒息。偶尔，肿瘤会向颅内扩展，本文描述了两例这样的病例。这种并发症可通过超声检查诊断，其存在表明积极的手术治疗是不合适的。
