Intracerebral tumours of the fetus are very rare conditions, most often presenting clinically as polyhydramnios and hydrocephalus.

The following report is of a case of an intracerebral tumour (glioblastoma multiforme) diagnosed at 33 weeks in utero using ultrasound. The prognosis for this condition is universally poor.
