Intracranial double teratomas

Surg Neurol. 1982 May;17(5):383-7. doi: 10.1016/0090-3019(82)90320-2.

Abstract

A case of double teratomas located in the pineal region and the fourth ventricle is presented. A simultaneous occurrence from nonmetastatic, separate origins seems rare in cases of mature teratomas. Computerized tomographic scans led to detection of another asymptomatic teratoma. Surgical treatment produced good results.
