Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Fetal Medicine
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Fetal gastrointestinal anomalies require early detection for optimal outcomes.
  • Accurate prenatal diagnosis relies on understanding normal fetal anatomy and development.
  • Ultrasound is the primary imaging modality for evaluating fetal abdominal structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of fetal gastrointestinal anomalies.
  • To outline normal fetal abdominal development, anatomy, and embryology.
  • To detail recommended ultrasound techniques for fetal abdominal examination.
  • To present a practical approach for identifying and diagnosing fetal abdominal abnormalities.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on fetal gastrointestinal anomalies.
  • Description of normal fetal abdominal development and anatomy.
  • Explanation of ultrasound techniques for fetal abdominal assessment.
  • Categorization of abnormal findings, including abdominal wall defects and intra-abdominal abnormalities.

Main Results:

  • Normal fetal abdominal development and anatomy are outlined.
  • Key ultrasound techniques for fetal abdominal examination are described.
  • Abdominal wall defects and intra-abdominal abnormalities are discussed in detail.
  • A structured approach to the abnormal fetal abdominal examination is presented.

Conclusions:

  • A practical approach to abnormal fetal abdominal examinations is established.
  • Sonographers and sonologists can use this guide to suggest precise differential diagnoses.
  • Improved prenatal diagnosis of fetal gastrointestinal anomalies is facilitated.
