Abstract
Fetal ovarian cysts can be managed in different ways, depending upon their size and clinical course: conservatively, by open surgery or by postnatal transabdominal puncture. However, in cases of large cysts detected antenatally and affecting the ongoing pregnancy, in utero transabdominal puncture can be undertaken, without increase of risk. A case of such a puncture at 30 weeks gestation is reported.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
