title: Antenatal diagnosis of fetal splenic cyst. A case report.
abstract: Antenatal ultrasonography detected a fetal splenic cyst at 35 weeks' gestation. Serial ultrasonography and follow-up neonatal ultrasonography confirmed the presence of a solitary splenic cyst. The finding of asymptomatic but potentially serious fetal lesions allows optimum management of the newborn infant and adds to the benefits of antenatal sonography.
