Teratomas are tumors which contain elements derived from more than one of the embryonic germ layers, so that the tissue components are often foreign to the anatomic site of the tumor. This tumor is an uncommon lesion in the newborn and even more so its localization in the neck.

โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
Antenatal ultrasound diagnoses of gross lymphatic system abnormalities were made in three fetuses. Although the diagnosis was made in only 1 fetus at a stage early enough in pregnancy to allow selective termination, knowledge of the abnormality in the remaining 2 fetuses proved to be valuable for subsequent management of those pregnancies. It is stressed that the extent of the abnormality must be carefully assessed because of the possibility of corrective surgery should the lesion be small and that the parents must be given detailed counseling before any definitive measures are taken.

## Abstract A case of placental chorioangioma is reported. To our knowledge, this is the first case diagnosed prenatally by ultrasonography. The complications of chorioangiomas include hydramnios, antepartum hemorrhage and premature labor, fetal demise, low birth weight and toxemia.
Normal ranges for biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC), and femur length (FL) were established from longitudinal data of singleton pregnancies of Arabian mothers. The data were used to develop a normogram of fetal ''growth rate'' for each parameter. It is
Prenatal ultrasonography is the primary imaging modality in pregnancy as it allows direct real-time fetal examination. Antenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has so far been of limited clinical value owing to poor image quality. This was due to the long acquisition times that were needed to achi
