title: Massive fetal intracranial teratoma with hydrocephalus detected at 33 weeks of gestation.
abstract: Fetal intracranial teratomas are rare neoplasms that can be readily detected via USG and MRI. While early discovery of such a condition may be helpful, the prognosis remains poor. We present a case of a massive intracranial teratoma and hydrocephalus initially detected via USG at 33 weeks of gestation.
