Foetal and neonatal ovarian cysts have previously been considered uncommon. With the development of sonography, however, the detection of cysts has increased. As ovarian cyst formation in the perinatal period is a self‐limiting process, treatment options depend on the risk of complications and on the ability to differentiate these benign cysts from other pathology. The history of two neonates with an ovarian cyst detected antenatally with ultrasound techniques is described. Conclusion: It is important that paediatricians have knowledge about the incidence, treatment and prognosis of foetal neonatal ovarian cysts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
