| Abstract: | Fetal hydrops is a known complication of sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) due to arteriovenous shunts within the tumor, which is clinically important and influence patients' prognosis. We present unique MRI morphological findings of a marked fetal anasarca in a case of an end-second trimester fetus presenting with SCT. |
