Early delivery as an alternative management strategy for selected high-risk fetal sacrococcygeal teratomas.

Abstract

A significant number of pregnancies complicated by high-risk SCT will manifest signs of fetal or maternal decompensation, or both, between 27 and 32 weeks of gestation.

In the absence of fulminant hydrops, preemptive early delivery can be associated with surprisingly good outcomes in appropriately selected fetuses with high-risk SCT.
