    Abstract

    Biopsy of fetal tissues is a relatively new procedure for the diagnosis of congenital malformations. The authors report the first case in which this technique has been applied to an orbital mass, in which heterotopic brain tissue was diagnosed by prenatal biopsy and excised in infancy. The wider implications of such intrauterine procedures are discussed.
