title: ["Maturation" of the intestine during pregnancy: successive observation with ultrasound].
abstract: The echographic images of the fetal intestines during the final 20 weeks of pregnancy are described. A comparison with the biparietal and abdominal diameter as well as with the echogenicity of the placenta is made. The sonographic images of the fetal intestines are divided into four grades, the last two appearing in the mature foetus only.
