TORRES HUARINGA, Leonor et al. Prenatal management of sacroccocygeal teratoma, a propos of the first case subjected to intrauterine blood transfusion in Peru. Rev. peru. ginecol. obstet. [online]. 2016, vol.62, n.4, pp.439-442. ISSN 2304-5132.

Sacrococcygeal teratoma is a rare fetal disease but with high perinatal mortality due to sequestration of blood flow and consequent development of severe fetal anemia. We present the case of a 27 weeks pregnant woman referred to our service for prenatal management of a fetus with giant sacrococcygeal teratoma and severe anemia and who was subjected to intrauterine intravascular transfusion that could permit prolongation of the pregnancy and improve perinatal results.

Keywords : Sacrococcygeal Teratoma; Fetal Anemia; Fetal Surgery; Intrauterine Blood Transfusion.
