Third trimester ultrasound diagnosis of intestinal atresia following clinical evidence of polyhydramnios.
Five cases of intestinal atresia were diagnosed using real-time ultrasonography following clinical evidence of polyhydramnios. No correlation was noted between ultrasound findings and the severity of the lesions. Two of the five babies died at 35 and 77 days respectively. Prematurity and presence of other abnormalities were factors in the deaths.
