Prenatal diagnosis of in utero fetal gastrointestinal bleeding.
A case of prenatal gastrointestinal bleeding is presented. Abnormal echogenic amniotic fluid was detected by routine ultrasound during the third trimester of a normal pregnancy. The diagnosis and postnatal implications of antenatal hemorrhage are discussed, with a review of the literature. To our knowledge, this is the first case to be diagnosed in utero and resulting in preterm delivery.
