Abstract
FETAL anomalies such as giant neck masses can result in perinatal death or hypoxia and anoxic brain injury due to inability to secure an airway in a timely fashion after delivery. Modern technology, ultrasound, and ultrafast magnetic resonance imaging have enabled intrauterine diagnosis and fetal interventions as a mode of therapy, thereby giving such affected fetuses a chance at survival.Keywords
