Abstract (AI)
The fetus with sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is at high risk for prenatal and perinatal complications. The natural history and pathophysiology of fetal SCT is different than that of postnatally diagnosed SCT, and has only recently been defined. Survival of fetuses with SCT is dependent on anticipation and recognition of pathophysiologic events, and optimal obstetric and surgical management. In a subset of fetuses with SCT, fetal resection of tumor may offer the only hope for survival.
Key Findings
1
Fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma carries a high risk of prenatal and perinatal complications.
2
For a subset of affected fetuses, prenatal tumor resection may be the only potentially lifesaving treatment.
3
Survival depends on anticipating and recognizing pathophysiologic events and providing optimal obstetric and surgical management.
4
The natural history and pathophysiology of fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma differ from postnatally diagnosed tumors.
