title: Congenital giant cervical teratoma: pre- and postnatal imaging.
abstract: Pre- and postnatal imaging findings are presented in a fetus/neonate with congenital cervical teratoma (CCT). Prenatal fetal MRI proved to be essential in the exact localization and characterization of the CCT while excluding potentially life-threatening prenatal complications. The provided information improved outcome by guiding decisions concerning delivery and postnatal care.
