Abstract
Teratomas of the newborn are rare true neoplasms occasionally arising from the nasopharynx and causing respiratory obstruction. A case requiring immediate tracheostomy is presented along with its subsequent management and eventual extubation. A brief discussion of teratomatous tumors is given. This case represents the youngest patient to receive a tracheostomy.Keywords
