Ex-utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) is performed for fetuses diagnosed with large neck masses. A case report of a fetus diagnosed with a large cystic hygroma and cord around the neck who was delivered by EXIT is presented. The airway challenges and optimal positioning is discussed.

Background: Antenatal fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal occlusion (FETO) has been introduced as an effective intervention to improve the outcome of severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).
Objective: We report our early experience with FETO.
Design: A retrospective chart review of case series.

The ex-utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) procedure is a specialized delivery strategy that extends utero-placental-fetal circulation to convert a potential neonatal emergency condition into a condition that is compatible with postnatal life. Cesarean section with operation on placental support is an EXIT technique that requires a relatively short duration of placental support and few skilled medical personnel and specialized instruments; it can successfully treat selected fetal indications. In the present study, we report a case of fetal thyroid goiter as an example of a fetal anomaly requiring the procedure.

Article Synopsis
- - The case involves a twin pregnancy with one twin (twin B) diagnosed via antenatal MRI with a large cystic neck mass that negatively affects the airway and the upper limb.
- - Due to the risk of airway obstruction for twin B, a multidisciplinary team decided to perform an EXIT (ex utero intrapartum treatment) procedure.
- - The EXIT procedure was successfully executed by first delivering twin A, then using an external cephalic version to assist in the delivery of twin B’s head, followed by intubation while the mother maintained circulation.

Fetal teratomas, though rare, represent a significant proportion of tumors arising during fetal development. These tumors arise from pluripotent cells and can present in varying degrees of severity, ranging from incidental findings to life-threatening conditions. Prenatal imaging, via ultrasound and MRI, is necessary for diagnosis and risk assessment.

Introduction: Cervicofacial lymphatic malformations (cf-LM) may be identified on prenatal ultrasound, prompting consideration of ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) to secure the fetal airway. Furthermore, the recent shift in postnatal management of cf-LM from resection alone toward a multimodal approach including sirolimus and sclerotherapy may impact the neonatal outcomes of cf-LM. This study aims to characterize the neonatal outcomes of patients with prenatally diagnosed cf-LM who underwent EXIT-to-airway.
