ABSTRACT
The prenatal diagnosis of epignathus presents a unique challenge for physicians. Differential diagnosis is usually based on the anatomic location of the tumor. Typical prenatal ultrasound characteristics of epignathus include a mixed solid and cystic lesion with vascularity in the solid component, originating from the hard or soft palate, and it is often associated with other anomalies such as craniofacial clefts or trans-sphenoidal intracranial extension. Herein, we present a case of prenatal diagnosis of epignathus with rare ultrasonographic findings, prenatal management requiring collaborative efforts of a multidisciplinary team, and a well-planned innovative ex utero intrapartum treatment procedure. In addition, this report highlights the evolving postnatal diagnosis of the rare developmental anomaly, duplication of the pituitary gland-plus syndrome, which includes various midline craniofacial, central nervous system, spinal, and endocrine abnormalities.
