Antenatal detection of omphalocele by ultrasound.
A case of successful antenatal detection of omphalocele is reported. Ultrasonic evidence of an abdominal wall defect with an extruding mass, without other anomalies, suggested the diagnosis of omphalocele and allowed the patient to receive special treatment. Despite the severity of the omphalocele, the infant was saved by immediate surgery.
