Abstract
Intracerebral tumours of the fetus are very rare conditions, most often presenting clinically as polyhydramnios and hydrocephalus. These conditions can be diagnosed with ultrasound and clearly differentiated from hydrocephalus and other intracranial lesions. The following report is of a case of an intracerebral tumour (glioblastoma multiforme) diagnosed at 33 weeks in utero using ultrasound. The prognosis for this condition is universally poor.Keywords
