Abstract
The introduction of fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has improved the prenatal evaluation of uterine, placental and fetal anatomy. However, its utilization has mostly been restricted to fetal central nervous system anomalies. We review how adjunct fetal MRI was performed and diagnosis of cystic type IV sacrococcygeal teratoma was made. We also discuss the clinical relevance of fetal MRI in differentiating this lesion from other selected abdominal/pelvic cystic malformations and lesions.
