    Author: Lipman SP, Pretorius DH, Rumack CM, Manco-Johnson ML.
    Journal: Radiology; 1985 Nov; 157(2):491-4. PubMed ID: 3901108.
    Abstract:
    We describe three cases of fetal intracranial teratoma diagnosed by ultrasound and review the literature. Sonographic features include cranial enlargement, gross distortion of normal cerebral architecture by a hyperechoic, multicystic mass, and polyhydramnios. Despite early diagnosis, the cesarean section rate is high and the overall prognosis is dismal.
