“…Fetal complications include hydrocephalus, intracranial hemorrhage, and rapidly increasing head size, which in extreme cases can result in severe obstetric complications such as spontaneous rupture of the fetal head during delivery, uterine rupture, or severe dystocia resulting from cephalopelvic disproportion 23,25,26 . Tumors with increased vascularity may lead to fetal high output heart failure and nonimmune fetal hydrops; these conditions pose an increased risk for the development of maternal mirror (Ballantyne) syndrome that can result in significant risk to the mother including intensive care admission and potential death, particularly in cases of delayed diagnosis 24,55,56 . The prognosis for prenatally diagnosed intracranial tumors is generally poor, especially for teratomas, with a significantly increased risk for in utero demise and a low survival rate of under 10% for neonates depending on the time of diagnosis and on the size of the teratoma 57,58 .…”
