| Popis: | Imperforate anus or anorectal atresia is often associated with major fetal structural defects but it may also be an isolated abnormality. Prenatal diagnosis is difficult but may be assisted by ultrasound detection of a dilated distal bowel or rectum. We report on a fetus at 12 weeks of gestation in which a dilated colon was detected at ultrasound examination. Dilatation of the colon was clearly seen in the first and third trimesters of pregnancy, but was difficult to detect in the second trimester. At birth, the newborn was diagnosed with a low type of imperforate anus. |
