Overview

Randomized trial reports severe perinatal outcomes of fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma in pregnant women, suggesting the need for close monitoring.

Key Points

  • This investigation focuses on the challenges and outcomes associated with fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma and its complications.
  • Case report of a 27-year-old woman with suspected fetal SCT presenting at 21 weeks gestation.
  • Diagnosis confirmed through prenatal ultrasound and MRI, with subsequent monitoring for complications.
  • Management included cesarean delivery due to progressive polyhydramnios and preterm labor.
  • A live female neonate was delivered, but the tumor ruptured during delivery.
  • The newborn required intensive care but died 48 hours post-surgery due to sepsis.
  • Key prognostic factors identified included tumor size, vascularity, fetal hemodynamic status, and gestational age at delivery.
