ABSTRACT

Cervical congenital neuroblastomes are very rare. This form of infantile cancer forms in the nervous tissue and generally it uses to appear more frequently in the suprarenal glands. Although they may appear prenatally, they are more frequent in the first year after birth. They are aggressive tumors with a high mortality. In almost all the cases (50/60 % of them), when a neuroblastome is detected, it is already disseminated to other parts of the body. We present the case of a newborn who shows a history of respiratory and digestive tracts compromise associated to a solid cervical mass and XII cranial par paralysis during the first 24 hours after birth.
