Clin Case Rep. 2024 Dec 9;12(12):e9684. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.9684. eCollection 2024 Dec.

Abstract

We present two types of FBT for which diagnostic orientation was initially erroneous because of the challenging antenatal diagnosis of FBT. Autopsy enabled to rectify the initial antenatal diagnosis and establish the FBT phenotypic profile.

Keywords: antenatal diagnosis; fetal autopsy; fetal brain tumor; genetics; prenatal ultrasound.
