Abstract
- The teratoma of the central nervous system has been the subjects of many publications popularly. Most of these have been single case report or systemic studies of the literature. Recently we have experienced 3 cases of intracranial teratoma. By using computerized axial tomogram of the brain, we can diagnose the teratoma of the brain preoperatively and also it can be confirmed histologically after operation. Under ground of our experiences of three cases of intracranial teratoma we have reviewed and discussed about teratoma of the central nervous system.
