摘要
In cases of gastroschisis detected prenatally it has been proposed that ultrasonographic criteria may play an important role in the decision for early delivery. We evaluated five cases of gastroschisis diagnosed before birth and found a correlation between prenatally detected small bowel dilatation and severe intestinal damage. However, from the limited data available these in utero measurements seem to be ineffective as indicators for delivery intervention (1) because not all fetuses with bowel dilatation have postnatal evidence of intestinal damage, (2) because some infants with intestinal damage and a poor postnatal outcome may show no in utero evidence of bowel dilatation, (3) because initial bowel dilatation may occur before a gestational age when lung maturity is achieved, and (4) because, in those cases in which bowel dilatation did correlate with intestinal damage, the bowel was already beyond the point of salvage and the infant required bowel resection. © 1990.
