MR Imaging of Fetal Sacrococcygeal Teratoma

Abstract

Sacrococcygeal teratomas had characteristic MR imaging appearances that allowed a complete assessment in most fetuses. Because of MR imaging, the prenatal evaluation was changed in some patients and affected counseling of the parents and treatment. MR imaging is a valuable adjunct to obstetric sonography for the prenatal evaluation of sacrococcygeal teratoma.
