Abstract

We report a case of neonatal respiratory distress caused by an epignathus. This rare tumour, arising from the basisphenoid and protruding from the mouth, is associated with high perinatal mortality. We highlight unique clinico-radiological findings and multidisciplinary approach for a successful outcome. We review oropharyngeal teratomas reported in the literature with current management approaches.
