title: [Prenatal diagnosis of a small intestinal volvulus].
abstract: Ninety-five percent of the neonatal cases of bowel atresia result from jéjuno-ileal obstructions. Frequency is estimated from 1/3,000 to 1/5,000. We observed a case of small bowel volvulus secondary to jejunal atresia diagnosed at 35 weeks gestation. The ultrasound examination was performed due to decreased perception of active fetal movements. Fetal extraction was successful before perforation and meconial peritonitis.
