Abstract
|
Introduction: Fetal intracranial tumors represent only 10% of all antenatal tumors; teratoma being the most common accounting for approximately half of all reported cases followed by astrocytoma, lipoma, choroid plexus papilloma, craniopharyngioma, and primitive neuroectodermal tumor. Usually these tumors clinically manifest in the third trimester of pregnancy, which otherwise nowadays often recognized earlier in pregnancy by ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. Majority of fetal intracranial tumors are supratentorial, however in larger lesions imaging or even autopsy is frequently unable to determine the origin.
Keywords: Antenatal intracranial tumors, Immature teratoma |
