Prenatal Diagnosis
|March 1, 2000
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.
