Early prenatal diagnosis of gastroschisis with transvaginal ultrasonography.
A case is reported in which gastroschisis was definitively diagnosed at 12 3/7 weeks' gestation by transvaginal ultrasonography. This is the earliest diagnosis reported in the literature and would seem to support the theory that gastroschisis and omphalocele are embryologically distinct entities.
