Summary

Prenatally diagnosed pericardial teratomas require careful management. Fetuses without hydrops can be treated postnatally, while those with hydrops need immediate intervention like aspiration or fetal surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Perinatology
  • Fetal Surgery
  • Pediatric Oncology

Background:

  • Pericardial teratomas are rare congenital tumors.
  • Successful postnatal excision is common, but prenatal diagnosis poses challenges.

Observation:

  • Two recent cases of prenatal pericardial teratomas were reviewed.
  • A comprehensive review of prior cases was conducted.

Findings:

  • A new management algorithm is proposed for in utero diagnosed pericardial teratomas.
  • Fetuses without hydrops can be monitored and treated postnatally.
  • Hydrops necessitates prompt intervention, including pericardial effusion aspiration or fetal surgical resection.

Implications:

  • This algorithm aims to improve outcomes for fetuses with pericardial teratomas.
