ABSTRACT
Massive congenital intracranial teratoma is a very rare. We report the prenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis of a massive intracranial teratoma in a 323 weeks pregnancy associated with severe hydrocephalus and polyhydroamnios. Prenatal ultrasound revealed a large heterogeneous echoic mass which almost replaced the normal intracranial structure. By transabdominal and transvaginal cephalocentesis, fetus was terminated vaginally and safely. We have reviewed with attention to clinical presentation, sonographic characteristics and associated findings and man-agement and prognosis of massive congenital intracranial teratoma.
