Abstract

Congenital intracranial teratomas are rare and usually fatal. We present prenatal diagnosis of such a case associated with scalp, facial, and body skin edema, hepatomegaly, extramedullary hematopoiesis, polyhydramnios, and a hydropic placenta. These manifestations of high-output cardiac failure were thought to be the result of the large cardiac output required by massive intracranial tumor arteriovenous shunting.
