A newborn girl presenting with respiratory distress soon after birth was found to have a neck mass and required transfer to a paediatric intensive care unit with neonatal expertise. She subsequently underwent endoscopic airway assessment with microlaryngoscopy and bronchoscopy proceeding to open excision of the lesion in the right thyroid lobe on day thirteen of life, resulting in resolution of airway compromise and complete pathological clearance. The baby was discharged 10 days after surgery. Histology confirmed a thyroid teratoma. At 12 months, the child was thriving with no evidence of recurrence. This case illustrates a rare but serious diagnosis that, if not managed in a timely manner, can lead to significant morbidity and mortality.

“…À l'échographie, Les tératomes ont une échogénicité mixte associant des plages solides et des éléments kystiques avec parfois des calcifications [13]. La présence de calcifications est quasiment spécifique des téra-tomes, mais ces calcifications ne sont présentes que dans Les lymphangiomes kystiques apparaissent à l'échographie comme des masses finement échogènes irrégulières, multicloisonnées par de fins septas, avec rarement une composante solide, se développant aux dépens du tissu cellulaire sous-cutané [15].…”

Fetal magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) has gained considerable interest during the last decade, especially in its intracranial applications. Due to its high soft-tissue contrast and presumed safety, FMRI should be accepted as a complementary technique in prenatal diagnosis, useful either to elucidate equivocal findings on routine US studies or to further delineate some pathological entities. Normal patterns of fetal brain maturation, as shown by FMRI, are described because they are of paramount importance to accurately evaluate intracranial diseases. To date, however, FMRI requires specialised facilities and should be considered as an evolving clinical research modality and performed within precise guidelines in a multidisciplinary approach to prenatal pathology.
