[Prenatal diagnosis of visceral malformations by ultrasonography]

The authors study a series of 64 cases of neo-natal visceral malformations which diagnosis had been done through maternal ultrasonography. The benefits of this technic depend on the affection or the malformation; they are presented here separately. These very early diagnosis in some rare cases allow an antenatal therapy; specially in urology, an earlier surgery than usual can be provided. A case of antenatal diagnosis of Cantrell Syndrome is described.
