“…Typically, intrapericardial teratomas are attached to the root of the pulmonary artery and aorta and compress the adjacent atrium or ventricle depending on their size. The tumors range in size from 2 to 9 cm in diameter 6 . The main presenting findings in the fetus or neonate with a pericardial teratoma are a tumor on imaging studies and a pericardial effusion 7,8 .…”

“…The timing of delivery was reported for 46 fetuses, which was 33.0 ± 5.0 (range, 19-40; median, 34) weeks of gestation (n = 46). The delivery modes were described in 43 cases: cesarean section in 34 (79.1 %) cases [9, 12-23, 25-30, 32-35, 38, 42-45, 49-51] (cesarean section for an EXIT procedure in 2 cases [9,43]); emergent cesarean section in 3 cases [18,19,21]); vaginal delivery in 5 (11.6 %) cases [11,24,31,38,39]; termination of pregnancy in 3 (7.0 %) cases [11,40,47]; and induction of labor of a stillborn in 1 (2.3 %) case [37]. Gender was known for 35 (63.6 %) neonates: 20 (57.1 %) were females and 15 (42.9 %) were males (χ 2 = 1.4, p = 0.339).…”

“…The postneonatal follow-up lasted for 15.2 ± 16.9 (range, 1-72; median, 10) months (n = 26). There were 14 (25.5 %) fetoneonatal deaths including 7 (50 %) fetal demises [37,43,46,48]; 4 (28.6 %) neonatal deaths [11,38,43,49]; and 3 (21.4 %) terminations of pregnancy [11,40,47]. Of the remaining 41 (74.5 %) cases, 7 (17.1 %) were complicated with a neonatal comorbidity and eventually recovered after proper treatments [13,14,16,21,27,34]; 34 (82.9 %) were event-free survivals [9, 10, 12, 15, 17-20, 22-26, 28-33, 35, 36, 38, 39, 41-45, 50, 51].…”

Fetal intrapericardial teratomas are rare and benign cardiac tumors. By comprehensive literature retrieval of the pertinent articles published since 2000, 49 articles with 61 cases of intrapericadial teratomas were recruited into this study. The intrapericardial teratomas were found during pregnancy in 55 cases (fetal group), while the tumors were detected until neonatal period in 6 cases (neonatal group). In the fetal group, 15 cases were critical with fetal/neonatal respiratory distress or cardiac tamponade. Antenatal treatments including centesis, shunt placement, open fetal surgery and the ex utero intrapartum treatment were required in 24 (43.6%) fetal cases. Postnatal intubation was required in 19 cases with 18 of them having immediate intubation after birth. Postnatal tumor resection was performed in 41 (95.3%) cases. In neonatal group, 4 neonates had respiratory distress and/or cardiac tamponade. Neonatal intubation was required in 1 (16.7%) patient. Surgical tumor resection was performed in all 6 patients. A comparison between the fetal and neonatal groups revealed that the fetal group was associated with higher refractory effusions while the neonatal group had a higher incidence of respiratory distress. Although the all cause death rate was higher in the fetal group than in the neonatal (25.5 vs. 0%), but lack of a statistical significance. Antenatal treatments for fetal intrapericardial teratomas are feasible but carry higher risks in comparison to neonatal cases.
