Simple Algorithm in the Management of Fetal Sacroccocygeal Teratoma in Developing Countries
نویسنده
چکیده
Sacroccocygeal teratoma is the commonest tumour in neonates. It is more common in females in about 80% of cases. Associated congenital abnormalities may be seen coexisting with sacroccocygeal teratomas in 10-20% of cases. Early diagnosis can be made through fetal ultrasound scan (USS).The presence of this tumour can have serious complications for both the fetus and mother. Apart from USS other specialized tests can be done, these may not be available in developing and low resource countries. A simple algorithm of management using USS and clinical findings can be adapted for use in these locations.
