Abstract

A neonate was born with a sacrococcygeal mass. Initially, spina bifida was suspected. However, neurological examination was unremarkable. An MRI of the neuraxis showed a large cystic presacral lesion without signs of spina bifida. Surgical resection of the lesion was performed. Pathologic evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of a sacrococcygeal teratoma.
