Abstract

A 3-month-old male infant presented with superior mediastinal syndrome due to a large mediastinal teratoma. The child suffered from severe cardiorespiratory compromise that required emergency treatment. Mediastinal teratomas are potentially lifethreatening in infancy. Close cooperation among pediatric oncologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, intensivists, and radiologists is crucial in the management of these rare tumors
