Prenatal Diagnosis

Abstract:
The sonographic diagnosis of duodenal atresia and associated anomalies was made in a fetus at 15 weeks' gestation. A transient double-bubble sign was observed in three other normal fetuses. Sonographers are cautioned that normal intestinal peristalsis may cause a false image of duodenal atresia.
