Abstract

AbstractWe describe a rare case of non‐immune hydrops fetalis caused by mediastinal teratoma. The sonographic appearance was that of a mixed cystic and solid mass in the antero‐superior mediastinum. The teratoma, on post mortem, extended cranially to the upper part of the thyroid, exerting pressure and causing deviation of the trachea, oesophagus, and aortic arch. The pathogenesis of non‐immune hydrops fetalis suggests obstruction of venous return caused by this tumour.
