ABSTRACT
Intrapericardial teratoma is a rare, and generally benign, tumor originating from the 3 germinal layers. It occurs in 60% of the cases in the first two years of life. Severe cardio-respiratory distress due to mediastinal compression and pericardial effusion are the main clinical symptoms. Echo-cardiography and cine-angiography confirm the diagnosis and early surgical removal brings immediate and durable improvement.
