Prenatal diagnosis of two cases of gastroschisis following alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) screening.
Two cases of gastroschisis were diagnosed antenatally following maternal serum AFP screening in midtrimester of the pregnancy, using ultrasonography, amniography and amniocentesis. The AFP screening program detected 4 congenital malformations but missed 4 malformations due to false negative AFP serum values.
