Body wall dysplasia: a rare case of abdominal hernia.
Malformations of the fetal abdominal wall include a broad spectrum of anomalies, and prenatal sonography provides the possibility of detecting most of them. Omphalocele and gastroschisis are the most common conditions, but there are other rare forms. We describe here a rare case of body wall dysplasia that we called abdominal hernia that appeared upon prenatal sonography as an omphalocele-like defect.
