- Abstract:
- The perinatal treatment of 23 infants with sacrococcygeal teratomas was recorded prospectively from 1990 to 1997, during which period 14 children (teratomas 6.9-18 cm) could be followed throughout the whole pregnancy at our own perinatal department. There were three prenatal deaths (21 h-27 week of gestation) and two peripartal deaths (1 hydrops and 1 ruptured teratoma). Prenatal Doppler sonography allows appropriate selection of high-risk fetuses. The vital prognostic sign was developing fetal hydrops with associated umbilical vein pulsations, increased aortal flow and an increasing pulsatility index in der venous duct.
