Unlike Type I teratomas, prenatal treatment is not an option, so babies with types II, III and IV must be born before treatment begins. [rileychildrens.org]

At the end of the day, our team will sit down with your family to explain your baby’s diagnosis, discuss treatment options, and answer your questions. [chop.edu]

The UC Davis Fetal Care and Treatment Center unites leaders in maternal-fetal care with renowned fetal, neonatal and pediatric surgeons to provide advanced diagnosis and treatment for complex conditions that can affect newborns. [health.ucdavis.edu]

Our fetal care team will also work with families to provide informed treatment plans based on the type, size, and composition of a fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma (verified by a fetal MRI). [childrenscolorado.org]

All patients with sacrococcygeal teratomas diagnosed prenatally are seen in our office for a detailed discussion of the condition and treatment options. [surgery4children.com]

The diagnosis is frequently made prenatally although a delayed presentation, which adversely impacts prognosis, can be seen in patients with intra-abdominal lesions. Multiple factors make the management of SCT challenging for the pediatric surgeon. [pedsurglibrary.com]

Those presenting in older infants tend to have a higher malignant potential which those presenting in utero have a poor prognosis due to complications. Malignant change may be also commoner in males. [radiopaedia.org]

[…] factors were found to be independent predictors of a poor prognosis on multivariate analysis. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The prognosis in these cases depends on the type of problem that the baby has. When the baby is stable, a surgeon will do one or many surgeries to remove the mass. [isuog.org]

Prognosis is good but the prevalence of malignant cells increases with the child’s age. Therefore early diagnosis and resection is of utmost importance. [imagejournals.org]

We present the intradural extension of SCT in a neonate, briefly review the currently proposed etiology regarding teratoma formation, and discuss the possible embryological basis causing this kind of teratoma. [thejns.org]

Though the exact etiology of most SCTs is unknown, the majority are thought to be sporadic. A few families with autosomal dominantly inherited presacral teratomas have been described in the literature, however. [obgyn.net]

A Cesarean section is recommended for babies with larger tumors to prevent dystocia and reduce the risk of tumor rupture, or bleeding. Each pregnancy is evaluated on an individual basis. [mottchildren.org]

During surgery, precautions must be taken to prevent hypothermia, which is easily precipitated because of the large surface area and the vascularity of the tumour. 44 The treatment of choice for sacrococcygeal teratoma is early surgical resection with [pmj.bmj.com]

Sometimes, maternal-fetal specialists determine that an early delivery is needed to address the tumor and prevent further danger to the heart. [rileychildrens.org]
