Hi there everyone,
I'm having an MRI scan at the Royal London - hopefully on Monday, although I've been warned the date could be changed. To recap my story I'm 24 + 4 and despite an uneventful pregnancy so far, this past Monday it was found on a regular private scan that my baby has a 'septated cystic mass' attached to the back of her tongue measuring 14.5mm x 14.5mm.
The initial diagnosis is either a few different types of rare tumour or more hopefully a type of cyst. Whatever it is, is extremely rare and I've been told by two consultants that they have never personally come across anything like it before. From scouring Google it seems there are a few cases in journals which have positive outcomes, and a few which do not. I'm trying to be half hopeful for now, but so far they cannot (will not) say whether or not this will be fatal until they know more. The best case scenario is that it's a cyst can be drained, and that it won't grow large enough to obstruct her airway.
Has anyone ever had an fetal MRI scan? And what are they like? I've never felt I was particularly claustrophobic but the thought of being in a small tube is a bit daunting. Also how long do they last?
Any advice appreciated!
