The fetal cerebellar structure, size and consistency are looked at in every system survey. Among the acquired cerebellar events that might change the cerebellar consistency are haemorrhage, infections in utero and neoplasia. Additional fetal malformations, if present, assist in making the final diag

Abstract
We present a case of a fetal pharyngeal teratoma, which was diagnosed at 21 weeks' gestation. At the time of examination, a mass of mixed echogenicity was detected that protruded through the mouth. During a second examination 3 weeks later, the tumor had increased in size, and a severe polyhydramnios had developed. Intrauterine death of the fetus was detected at 27 weeks' gestation. Labor was induced with misoprostol, and a 1,015βg stillborn female neonate was delivered. Postmortem examination confirmed the diagnosis of a pharyngeal teratoma. Β© 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
