Abstract

Congenital intracranial tumors are very rare. We report a case of the astrocytoma confirmed by autopsy after stillbirth at 37+5 weeks gestation. Prenatal ultrasound revealed relatively well defined, large, lobulated, heterogeneous hyperechoic lesion, which involve the left cerebral hemisphere and displace the falx cerebri opposite side. Hydramnios was not seen. The methods of delivery are cesarean section or vaginal delivery according to intrapartum destructive procedures. We have reviewed with attention to sonographic characteristics, associated findings of the congenital astrocytoma and management and progress of congenital astrocytoma with brief review of literatures.
