ANTENATAL MR IMAGING OF CERVICAL TERATOMAS
Keywords:
teratoma, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, pregnancyAbstract
The majority of cervical teratomas in the newborn are histologically benign and diagnosed on antenatal ultrasound. The extent of such tumours and their relationship to vital structures such as major blood vessels and the trachea are better delineated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A case of cervical teratoma imaged antenatally with MRI for assessment of airway patency and surgical planning is reported.
