Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Sacrococcygeal teratomas are the most common germ cell neoplasia in the newborn, which are seen on the frontal surface of coccyx and sacrum. As a result of ultrasonographic developments in recent years, sacrococcygeal teratoma can be easily diagnosed in the prenatal period.
Case Report: We report a case of a 29 -year-old patient with a singleton pregnancy of 38 weeks, with a giant sacrococcygeal teratoma of 20x18 cm in the sacrococcygeal zone. The infant was successfully delivered by classical cesarean section. Conclusion: It is quite important to diagnose sacrococcygeal teratomas in the early weeks of pregnancy and to monitor prenatal management and prenatal complications to be able to determine the mode and place of delivery. When planning delivery, the least traumatic method should be preferred. | |
