Massive fetal intracranial teratoma with hydrocephalus detected at 33 weeks of gestation.
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.
