Terminal myelocystocele and sacrococcygeal teratoma: a comparison of fetal ultrasound presentation and perinatal risk.

چکیده
This case exemplifies the difficulty in differentiating cystic sacrococcygeal teratoma and terminal myelocystocele. Fetal sonography presentation and perinatal risks of sacrococcygeal teratoma and terminal myelocystocele are compared, and we emphasize the importance of obtaining fetal MR imaging to establish an accurate diagnosis.

The occurrence of a fetal tumor is rare, 50% of all fetal tumors being sacrococcygeal teratomas. Prenatal diagnosis of this condition is important for the monitoring of the affected fetuses and for establishing the mode and time of delivery. We describe two cases of fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma diagnosed by 2D- and 3D-ultrasound. Three-dimensional ultrasound proved to be useful both in the dia...

Majority of the cases are found during the first few days of life, with less than 10% being diagnosed beyond the age of two year. Females are ten times more likely to be affected then males.[1] We herein report a case of benign and infected sacrococcygeal terat...
