| Description | Sacrococcygeal teratoma is a rare congenital malformation, the prognosis depends on factors aff ecting foetal development. The dia gnosis is based on ultrasound examination, especially the evaluation of the detailed morphology of the foetus in the 20th week of pregnancy. Therefore, it is crucial to keep looking for ultrasound markers that would prenatally determine the most accurate prognosis for the foetus. Now, we rely on a small number of studies with a predominance of case reports. We off er a literature review of the essential information concerning sacrococcygeal teratoma dia gnostics, therapy, and complications of sacrococcygeal teratomas in connection with prenatal dia gnosis. It turns out that in cases with a favourable prognosis according to prenatal ultrasound examination and adequate surgical treatment after childbirth, the prognosis of this congenital malformation is excellent. |
