This must be very rare indeed, never saw a case. Also rare are malignant tumors of the fetus, but we just recently had a case. That something was wrong was diagnosed prenatally with US: some resemblance to acrania combined with hydrocephalus. Histology showed that a neurogenic tumor, possibly an astrocyoma, had occupied all of the skull and then liquified from the center outwards.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
