Abstract:
We report a case of immature teratoma arising at the suprasellar region in a 18 year-old-male who presented with bitemporal hemianopsia, nausea and polydipsia. The teratoma is a rare neoplasm consisting of 0.5% to 1.2% of all intracranial tumors. The clinical presentation, radiologic finding, pathology and treatment are briefly described with a review of other cases from the literature in view of clinical features and management.
