Abstract Although congenital intracranial tumors are very rare, it is important to know the differential diagnosis and distinguishing features of the different disease processes in order to accurately diagnosis and appropriately treat these patients in the neonatal period. We present a case of a rare congenital craniopharyngioma detected in a fetus on prenatal imaging. Teratoma is the most common congenital intracranial tumor. Hence this tumor was initially labelled as a teratoma, which is a pitfall that should be avoided.
