Abstract
Biopsy of fetal tissues is a relatively new procedure for the diagnosi s of congenital malformations. The authors report the first case in wh ich this technique has been applied to an orbital mass, in which heter otopic brain tissue was diagnosed by prenatal biopsy and excised in in fancy. The wider implications of such intrauterine procedures are disc ussed. Copyright (C) 1997 by W.B. Saunders Company.
