Abstract
Fetal ovarian cysts (FOC) are the most common intra-abdominal masses during fetal ultrasonography performed on the fetus. With conservative follow-up after detection, it is usually seen that it shrinks and disappears within a few months after birth without any procedure. Although the earliest period in which FOC can be detected is reported as the 19th gestational week, most FOCs are diagnosed at 28th gestational week. FOCs that do not shrink during follow-up and have a cyst appearance complicated by imaging tests may cause ovarian torsion, ovarian loss and infertility. In this study, it is aimed to discuss FOC diagnosis and treatment methods according to the current literature in the light of case reports.
