Abstract

Sacrococcygeal teratomas are the most common congenital tumors in newborns. The primary treatment is early surgical resection. However, the risks of surgical procedures and tumor morphology, as well as the challenges of premature newborns, make the anesthetic management distinguished. In this case report, we present anesthesia management of 3.420 gr newborn on the postnatal 3rd day, who was born by caesarean delivery with 176x130x130 mm huge sacrococcygeal teratoma at 32 weeks of gestation.
