Abstract
The commonest fetal intracranial tumour is a teratoma. The prognosis is poor with death usually occurring shortly after birth. Modern high resolution ultrasound scanners facilitate examination of the cranial contents, allowing earlier diagnosis. We report a case where an intracranial teratoma was identified at 21 weeks gestation, the earliest gestational age that this has been reported. The ultrasound appearances are discussed.
