Prenatal diagnosis of colon atresia.
We report a case of colon atresia diagnosed pre-natally at 32 weeks' gestation. The fetal transverse colon was dilated. Complete atresia of the middle transverse colon was confirmed after birth. Small bowel dilatation (and clinical obstruction) did not develop until after 24 h of age.
