Fetal tumors are very rare. Sacrococcygeal tumors, the most common type of fetal tumor, are generally not malignant in neonates and have a good prognosis provided they can be successfully removed.

http://swissfetus.ch/fetal-diseases/gastroschisis

Gastroschisis is a defect of the abdominal wall causing protrusion of the abdominal contents. The defect, adjacent to the umbilicus, arises at a very early stage of embryonic development and its cause is unknown. The result is that the unborn child’s abdominal contents (intestine, stomach) pass into the amniotic sac and float in amniotic fluid. This causes some damage to the intestine.

http://swissfetus.ch/fetal-diagnostics/first-trimester-screening

First trimester screening can tell whether a child will be affected by a chromosome abnormality, most commonly trisomy 21, 13, or 18. Along with a blood test, measurement of nuchal (nape of the neck) translucency thickness (1) forms an essential part of first trimester screening. Experience shows a correlation between increased thickness of the nape of the fetal neck and the probability of trisomy 21 (2).

http://swissfetus.ch/portrait

Unfortunately, the dream of giving birth to a healthy baby does not always become reality. In some cases prenatal testing reveals that the unborn child is not healthy. In such cases we can help to find out exactly what the problem is, identify possibilities for treatment both before and after birth, and provide you with comprehensive advice. At our Center we are guided by the six basic principles of medical ethics:. Autonomy (the patient’s wishes are paramount). Non-maleficence ( first, do no harm ).

http://swissfetus.ch/fetal-diseases/spina-bifida

In almost all cases this severe malformation is diagnosed by ultrasound, which shows an absence of soft tissue over the spinal cord (1). An MRI scan can show the anatomical relationships in more detail and must always be performed if a prenatal operation is being considered (2).
