Overview

Case report highlights antenatal diagnosis of sacrococcygeal teratoma in monochorionic twins, emphasizing prenatal imaging importance.

Key Points

  • A sacrococcygeal teratoma was diagnosed antenatally in one twin, leading to a scheduled cesarean delivery at 36+5 weeks.
  • Fetal imaging confirmed the presence of a presacral lesion classified as an Altman Type I SCT, indicating severity.
  • Multidisciplinary perinatal management was crucial for optimizing outcomes, illustrating the importance of specialized care.
  • Postnatal evaluation showed normal adaptation, with surgical resection planned to address the large sacral mass.
