The main priority for treating<unk>  is to establish a usable airway free of obstruction and then to feed the baby. This is frequently difficult because there are often complications due to the large mass of the tumor, its location, the complex progression and required corrective modifications. These tumors, characterized as unusual masses or lumps of tissue, are often the result of abnormal tissue growth and may remain localized in one area or spread to other parts of the body. However, diagnostic imaging tools such as 3-D ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been essential in early detection of tumors in the head and neck region of the fetus. Although few cases have been treated successfully, early prenatal detection and intervention prior to birth has proven to be key in order to have a chance to save the baby's life. 3-D ultrasonography works to create an image by producing high frequency sound waves throughout the body in order to detect and receive echo sound. These echoes are then interpreted to form an image depending on how strong the echo was and how long the echo was received after the sound waves were transmitted. Compared to other imaging techniques that use radioactive dyes or ionizing radiation, ultrasounds have been considered safe. The use of 3-D ultrasonography has allowed surgeons to pinpoint the exact position of organs and tissues within the body and has been proven vital for surgical guidance especially when treating transplant and cancer. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is another medical imaging technique that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create images of organs and tissues within the body. It is important to understand that MRI does not involve x-rays or ionizing radiation, which makes it a better and safer choice for medical imaging compared to CT and PET scans. The use of these diagnostic tools during fetal development are important for early detection of any abnormal masses that may turn out to be tumors. If tumors are detected early using the featured diagnostic tools, the baby should be stabilized before surgical removal is conducted to repair the abnormalities. In order to stabilize the baby, the umbilical cord is kept intact to provide oxygen to the fetus in case of airway obstruction. This is important in the case that a tracheostomy, or operation required to allow air to enter the lungs, is required in order to save the baby's life. Only after the airway is secured should the umbilical cord be clamped and the baby can proceed with surgery. During surgery, a complete repair and removal procedure of the diseased tissues, especially those that may spread throughout the body, is necessary in order to prevent any chance of reoccurrence after a period of improvement. Following surgery, chemotherapy may be used to promote residual tumor regression. In some cases, because of the complications of the<unk>  tumor, terminating the pregnancy might be an option that needs to get discussed.
