Gastroschisis with intestinal atresia--predictive value of antenatal diagnosis and outcome of postnatal treatment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate (1) the predictive value of fetal bowel dilatation (FBD) for intestinal atresia in gastroschisis and (2) the postnatal management and outcome of this condition.

Methods: A retrospective review of all gastroschisis cases diagnosed in our fetal medicine unit between 1992 and 2010 and treated postnatally in our center was performed.

Results: One hundred thirty cases had full postnatal data available.

Sonographic diagnosis of SEDC and double heterozygote of SEDC and achondroplasia--a report of six pregnancies.

Objective: To define the sonographic features of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita (SEDC) and the double heterozygote for SEDC and achondroplasia.

Methods: A retrospective review of 6 pregnancies in one family where one parent has achondroplasia and the other SEDC.

Results: There were 4 double heterozygote pregnancies and 2 where the fetus had SEDC.
