Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze pregnancy and neonatal outcomes for fetal cystic lymphatic malformations (LMs) not located in the posterior neck to help in patient counseling.
- A systematic review of 65 studies involving 96 fetuses was conducted, revealing a 94% live birth rate and a typical diagnosis around 25.5 weeks, mainly in the anterior neck.
- Findings indicated that LMs generally increase in size before delivery, have few complications, and most surviving infants show normal development, with only a small percentage experiencing significant health issues post-birth.*
