An anterior myelomeningocele had been suspected in a female fetus on the basis of fetal ultrasonography; prenatal MRI at the 24th week of gestation confirmed a cystic mass in the anterior sacrococcygeal area [1]. The mass was surgically removed at one month of age, and hystopathological analysis determined it was a mature teratoma (Figure 1).
