Fetal gastrointestinal malformations often present with other anomalies and require specialized neonatal surgical care. Prenatal ultrasound accuracy for diagnosing these conditions was limited in this study.

Area of Science:

  • Perinatal Medicine
  • Fetal Surgery
  • Neonatology

Background:

  • Gastrointestinal (GIT) malformations in newborns present significant perinatal challenges.
  • Accurate prenatal diagnosis and management planning are crucial for improving outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To audit fetal gastrointestinal malformations.
  • To evaluate prenatal diagnosis accuracy and perinatal management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective audit of case sheets for mothers delivering newborns with GIT malformations.
  • Analysis of maternal history, prenatal ultrasound findings, postnatal malformations, and perinatal management.

Main Results:

  • Eleven newborns had GIT malformations; one was stillborn.

  • Nine newborns had associated malformations; two had trisomy 21.
  • Prenatal ultrasound showed limited accuracy in diagnosing GIT anomalies.
  • Eight newborns underwent immediate surgery, with five survivors.

    • Conclusions:

    • Fetal gastrointestinal malformations frequently involve chromosomal and structural anomalies, warranting fetal echocardiography and genetic amniocentesis.
    • Optimal management requires delivery in centers with advanced neonatal and pediatric surgical care due to the high incidence of immediate surgical needs.
