Determination of the anatomical location of an antenatal intestinal occlusion by magnetic resonance imaging.
Intestinal occlusion occurs in approximately 1 in 3000 births. Its diagnosis can be made in utero with ultrasound however, determination of its precise location is difficult to achieve. We report herein the feasibility of diagnosing and locating a fetal small-intestine occlusion with the use of magnetic resonance imaging.
