Omphalocele: prenatal MR findings.
We present the MR-findings in two cases of omphalocele in two second trimester pregnancies. Fast MR sequences were performed on a 1.5 T magnet. Both patients underwent previous evaluation with sonography. The findings were confirmed with MR and additional information about the severity and location of the anomaly were demonstrated. The MR images provided adequate anatomical detail of the major abdominal viscera to evaluate the content and extent of the disease.
