Fetus in fetu (FIF) is a rare anomaly of diamniotic monochorionic twins, in which a malformed fetus resides in its twin's body. This report shows a case with the prenatal diagnosis of FIF at Tu Du hospital. A 23-year-old woman, first-time pregnant, presented at the hospital with an abdominal mass in the fetus at 31 weeks and 4 days of gestation. The ultrasound showed an abnormal mass with the images of calcified features located in the left hypochondriac region and the kidney's upper pole. These images had shapes of skull, femur, spine and became more apparent as the fetus grew. Then, the patient was monitored and delivered at our hospital. The infant was moved to the Children's Hospital 1 and diagnosed with FIF by ultrasound. The surgical resection was performed at 12 days of birth.
胎中胎(FIF)是双羊膜单绒毛膜双胎的一种罕见异常情况,即一个畸形胎儿寄居于其双胎的体内。本报告展示了在图度医院产前诊断出胎中胎的一例病例。一名23岁的初产妇,在妊娠31周零4天时因胎儿腹部有肿块到医院就诊。超声检查显示左季肋区和肾上极有一个异常肿块,伴有钙化特征图像。这些图像呈现出头骨、股骨、脊柱的形状,且随着胎儿生长变得更加明显。随后,该患者在我院接受监测并分娩。婴儿转至第一儿童医院,经超声诊断为胎中胎。出生12天时进行了手术切除。
