Gastroschisis is a congenital malformation with an easy and early prenatal diagnosis, however, it has a variable post-natal outcome. Our aim was to determine if certain ultrasound markers or early delivery were related with a worse postnatal outcome.
METHODS
Retrospective study of a
Intrauterine intussusception has been implicated as a potential cause of intestinal atresia but has not been associated previously with nonimmune hydrops fetalis. We report a patient with a significant family history of intussuception who had intrauterine intussusception associated with nonimmune
Five of 22 infants operated upon in the last 4 yr for gastroschisis had an associated loss of intestinal continuity. Four of the infants had an intestinal atresia and one had a gangrenous segment of ileum. Each had primary closure of the gastroschisis and decompression of the proximal intestine.
Prenatal karyotyping was carried out on 206 pregnancies with sonographic abnormalities, including fetal malformations, growth retardation and disorders of the amniotic fluid volume. Overall, chromosomal aberrations were detected in 37 cases (18.0%), but the frequency of chromosomal aberrations was
OBJECTIVE
The sonographic examination of fetuses is generally thought to be compromised when oligohydramnios is present because of the subjective impression of less adequate visualization of fetal anatomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent to which oligohydramnios limits our ability
To clarify the relationship between clinical features in utero and postnatal prognosis, 20 fetuses who underwent ultrasonic (US) evaluation for meconium peritonitis (MP) over a 17-year period were reviewed. According to final US findings in utero, patients were classified into three types. Type I
BACKGROUND
Continuous exposure to amniotic in fetus with gastroschisis, leads to inflammation and edema of intestinal loops, hindering intestinal return to abdomen and making staged repair necessary in many cases. Furthermore, intestinal loops are hipoperistaltic, which leads to oral toleration
We report on two sibships with four fetuses of 12, 15, 17, and 20 weeks of gestation, respectively, and 1 preterm baby of 31 weeks of gestation affected by a multiple congenital disorder with manifestation suggestive of Fryns syndrome. In addition to the characteristic malformation pattern in Fryns
BACKGROUND
The association of neonatal intestinal obstruction with situs inversus totalis is extremely rare with only few cases reported in the literature to date. This association poses dilemmas in management. We present two such cases (of Indian origin), and briefly discuss the pertinent
