Abstract
Two cases of fetal gastroschisis were diagnosed in utero by ultrasound. In 1 patient, a cluster of sonolucent cystic structures was seen in the amniotic fluid which corresponded to fluid-filled bowel loops. The 2nd infant was the firstborn of dichorionic twins and the gastroschisis abnormality appeared as 2 sonolucencies in relationship to the trunk. An extensive review of the literature is presented.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
