Background: To discuss a series of complex non-immune fetal anemia cases, including etiology, investigations, workup, diagnosis, and management. Materials and methods: Five complex non-immune cases of fetal anemia seen in our department are presented. Results: Of the five cases presented, all are live births with follow-up least up to 1.5 years of age. They are cases of hereditary spherocytosis, congenital dyserythropoietic anemia, MCDA twins-twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) post-laser co-twin demise-fetal anemia, placental chorioangioma, and massive fetomaternal hemorrhage. Conclusion: Non-immune causes of fetal anemia can be difficult to diagnose its etiology and hence complex to manage. Repeated intrauterine transfusions may be the only perinatal management. The perinatal morbidity/mortality and preterm delivery rates are increased, and some cases require long-term treatment including regular transfusions. We present our experience of a series of complex non-immune fetal anemia managed in a tertiary unit, review the literature, and suggest appropriate management.

Congenital intracranial tumors are rare, accounting for 0.5-1.9% of pediatric tumors. Though antenatal detection rates have improved with ultrasound (US) and MRI, histopathology gives a definite diagnosis. Prognosis is guarded as there is no effective postnatal treatment. We present a fetus incidentally diagnosed with intracranial teratoma by US and MRI at 36 weeks of gestation. Elective cesarean was performed for anticipated labor dystocia. A female baby with head circumference [ 99th centile was delivered. Due to the invasive growth potential of the tumor, the baby succumbed at 4 months of palliative care. Further research is required for devising new treatment modalities to tackle this intractable condition.
