Capillary hemangioma of the neck: prenatal MR findings

Prenatal MR findings of a case of extracranial capillary hemangioma simulating an encephalocele at sonography are reported. MR imaging had an adjunctive diagnostic role in excluding the possibility of an encephalocele. The capillary hemangioma had diffuse T2 hypointensity prenatally, which is atypic...

Description
Summary:Prenatal MR findings of a case of extracranial capillary hemangioma simulating an encephalocele at sonography are reported. MR imaging had an adjunctive diagnostic role in excluding the possibility of an encephalocele. The capillary hemangioma had diffuse T2 hypointensity prenatally, which is atypical of postnatal imaging findings.
