Hi, thanks for writing..
Cystic hygroma may be associated with other genetic abnormality like turner's, down's syndrome. Then termination would be a better option. Isolated cystic hyygroma can be treated with removal of abnormal tissue but it may recur. In some babies it will resolve spontaneously.. Since this is a large one spontaneous resolution is less chance. Deliver in a hospital with good neonatal facility if you opt to continue. Hope I have answered your query. Feel free to ask doubt through http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-dalia-muraleedharan/68596. Good day.
