Prenatal Diagnosis of Fetal Ovarian Cyst. Report of a Case

Abstract

Background: Prenatal diagnosis of abdominal cysts is relatively common; The ovarian cyst is the most predominant chemical lesion of abdominal masses in female fetuses; however, given the wide variety of intra-abdominal masses, determining the origin of the chemical lesion is the most frequent diagnostic challenge, especially to establish fetal prognosis. Clinical Case: 30-year-old patient, who went to the emergency department for uterine contractions, no prenatal control, during the ultrasound evaluation, polyhydramnios and an intra-abdominal cystic lesion measuring 4.9 x 3.9 cm, without septa and with a thin wall were documented, the area was intentionally reviewed. renal, hepatic, and intestinal; Without involvement of these structures, female genitalia were confirmed, concluding in a probable ovariandependent cyst, admission for resolution of the pregnancy via the abdomen due to pelvic presentation and labor, at birth the diagnosis was confirmed. Conclusions: Timely detection of an intra-abdominal chemical injury and ecological follow-up improve perinatal prognosis.
