Abstract
Fetal intrapericardial teratomas are uncommon and usually benign. Their histology is the same as that of teratomas located elsewhere. They may cause death from non-immune hydrops fetalis and cardiac tamponade. We report a case that was successfully managed prenatally by placement of a pericardial amniotic shunt.
