ABSTRACT
Mediastinal teratomas rarely cause symptoms in newborns. Case reports drawing attention to this presentation have appeared in the literature. A 2-day-old baby with respiratory distress treated by intubation and mechanical ventilation underwent an urgent thoracotomy to alleviate tracheal compression that was caused by a teratoma. The clinical, radiological, and surgical features related to this case are reported.
