Teratomas are thought to be present since birth, or even before birth, and therefore can be considered [[congenital]] tumors. However, many teratomas are not diagnosed until much later in childhood or in adulthood. Large tumors are more likely to be diagnosed early on. Sacrococcygeal and cervical teratomas are often detected by prenatal [[ultrasound]]. Additional diagnostic methods may include prenatal [[magnetic resonance imaging|MRI]]. In rare circumstances, the tumor is so large that the [[fetus]] may be damaged or die. In the case of large sacrococcygeal teratomas, a significant portion of the fetus' [[blood flow]] is redirected toward the teratoma (a phenomenon called [[steal syndrome]]), causing [[Congestive heart failure|heart failure]], or [[hydrops fetalis|hydrops]], of the fetus. In certain cases, [[fetal surgery]] may be indicated.
