title: Prenatal diagnosis and follow up of congenital splenic cyst: a case report.
abstract: We report a case of congenital splenic cyst that was identified by prenatal sonography at 25 gestational weeks. Serial scans demonstrated an increase in size during the prenatal period but after birth the cyst progressively decreased in size until its complete regression at 6 months of age.
