Successful Postnatal Management of Ruptured Giant Sacrococcygeal Teratoma
نویسنده
چکیده
Most sacrococcygeal teratomas present between the 22nd and the 34th week of gestation. The diagnosis of sacrococcygeal teratoma on routine antenatal sonograms is associated with a greater than expected incidence of prenatal and perinatal complications. We report a premature baby with intrauterine spontaneous rupture of giant sacrococcygeal teratoma which was managed successfully.

INTRODUCTION Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is a rare tumor in the general population, arising from multipotent stem cells. Whereas most of the cases diagnosed postnatally have good prognosis, the rate of mortality and morbidities associated with prenatally diagnosed SCT remain high, with a reported mortality rate of 30% to 50%. The outcome of fetal SCT can be unpredictable, with some cases with...

Infants born with a giant sacrococcygeal teratoma (GSCT; >10 cm) have high mortality. Risk factors for mortality include increased tumor vascularity, high cardiac output, rapid growth, diagnosis before 20-week gestation, delivery before 30-week gestation, hydrops, low birth weight, Apgar less than 7 at 5 min and polyhydramnios. We present the case of a 28-week infant born with a GSCT (15 × 12 ×...

متن کاملPrenatal sonographic diagnosis of congenital sacrococcygeal teratoma and management.
Teratomas are tumors containing tissues derived from all three germinal cell layers. Most teratomas arise in the sacrococcygeal region, with a reported incidence of 1/40,000 births. During labor, severe dystocia may occur in infants with large tumors if delivered vaginally, with an extremely high fetal morbidity and mortality rate. Reported is a case of a large congenital sacrococcygeal teratom...
