Prenatal diagnosis of abdominal enteric duplications

Prenat Diagn. 2000 Feb;20(2):163-7. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1097-0223(200002)20:2<163::aid-pd769>3.0.co;2-f.

Abstract

Alimentary tract duplications are rare congenital malformations with few reports of the antenatal sonographic appearance. Early diagnosis is of paramount importance to prevent complications. We present a case of a cystic gastric duplication diagnosed antenatally at 31 weeks' gestation, which was treated successfully. Simultaneously, we review all published cases of prenatally diagnosed enteric duplications.
