Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate ultrasonographic finding and clinical course of fetal ovarian cysts.
Methods: A retrospective study in 11 cases of fetal ovarian cysts, which were evaluated by prenatal and postnatal ultrasonographic studies. We analyzed the demographic factors, ultrasonographic findings, change of ultrasonographic parameters, mode of delivery, management of ovarian cysts and pathologic finding.
Results: In all cases, fetal ovarian cysts were unilateral simple cysts at time of diagnosis. The mean sizes of the ovarian cysts were 29.7mm on prenatal and 19.8mm on postnatal studies. In four of 11 cases, the ultrasonographic patterns of cysts changed from simple to complicated cysts on serial monitorng, and one of them was required postnatal surgery. Ten of 11 cases were spontaneously resolved during perinatal follow-up ultrasound.
Conclusion: We recommend continuous ultrasonographic assessment of antenatally diagnosed ovarian cysts, which is helpful to predict outcome of cysts and decide management.
