[Prenatal ultrasonic diagnosis and follow-up of fetal splenic cysts: report of two cases. Review of the literature].
Congenital splenic cysts are rare entities wich are not frequently diagnosed in prenatal sonographies and there is only a few literature wich report these medical cases. The aim of this article is to introduce this sonographic discovery and study whether there are impacts for the newborn, association with cormosomopathy or fetal pathology. We describe two medical cases of fetal splenic cysts wich were diagnosed in our service by ultrasonography at 29 and 32 weeks of gestation, their antenatal monitoring and postnatal evolution. Besides theses, it is made a review of this entity in medical literature, examination about the: etiology, prenatal diagnosis, prenatal and postnatal following and complications. In conclusion, the congenital splenic cyst has a good prognosis with an spontaneous postnatal resolution in the majority of the cases. No association was observed between cromosopathy or fetal pathology with the examined cases.
