Clin Case Rep. 2022 Jul 25;10(7):e6134. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.6134. eCollection 2022 Jul.

Abstract

Nasopharyngeal teratomas are rare and represent only 2% of all teratomas. They can lead to an embryopathogenic mechanical obstacle responsible for a cleft palate with few reported cases of this association in the literature. We report the case of a 14-month-old girl with this atypical association.
