Abstract
Teratomas form the most common type of congenital brain tumors, frequently presenting as stillbirth. The largest neonatal
series of intracranial teratomas reported a 12% survival rate. Although the first teratoma of the lateral ventricle was reported
in 1961 by Maier, neonatal intracranial teratoma of the lateral ventricle is an extremely rare entity. We report here a large
intracranial poorly differentiated teratoma arising from choroid plexus of lateral ventricle. This typically presented at birth with a large congenital hydrocephalus.
