Abstract
Cervical teratomas are rare congenital neck masses that are most commonly benign but can compromise the fetal and neonatal airway. Most cervical teratomas are noted on prenatal ultrasound and require extensive perinatal planning and a multidisciplinary team for airway management at delivery. Once the airway is secured and the infant stabilized, complete surgical excision is the standard of care.
