Fetal gastroschisis and omphalocele are congenital defects of abdominal wall that are often diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound done for routine screening or for obstetric indications such as evaluating an elevated maternal serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP). Prenatal ultrasound could potentially identify the overwhelming majority of abdominal wall defects and accurately distinguish omphalocele from gastroschisis. Here we report two cases of gastroschisis and omphalocele diagnosed at routine prenatal ultrasound. NJR I VOL 2 I ISSUE 1 42-45 Jan-June, 2012 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njr.v2i1.6980

Fetal gastroschisis and omphalocele are congenital defects of abdominal wall that are often diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound done for routine screening or for obstetric indications such as evaluating an elevated maternal serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP).Regular antenatal checkup and Prenatal ultrasound could potentially identify the overwhelming majority of abdominal wall defects and accurately distinguish omphalocele from gastroschisis. But in a developing country like Bangladesh neglected patients fail to seek antenatal visit and prenatal diagnosis. Here we report a case of gastroschisis and omphalocele diagnosed incidentally during last trimester.TAJ 2015; 28(2): 64-65

The Many

The spectrum of abdominal wall defects includes exomphalos (omphalocoele), gastroschisis, and bladder and cloacal exstrophy. These congenital anomalies are readily recognised on a prenatal ultrasound scan. A raised maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP) should also prompt an ultrasound examination looking specifically for these anomalies, as well as neural tube defects. The influence of prenatal diagnosis on the peri- and postnatal management and outcome is still the subject of debate. Most published work relies on patient numbers too small to be of use statistically. Attempting to draw objective conclusions is made difficult because published series come from units with differing facilities and levels of expertise in the many professional groups involved in the management of these often complex anomalies.
