title: Pitfalls in prenatal diagnosis of unusual congenital abdominal wall defects.
abstract: We report three cases of unusual skin covered abdominal wall defects not accurately diagnosed by prenatal sonography. An associated omphalocele was recognized in two but misinterpreted as a giant omphalocele in one. Suspicious sonographic features--an enlarged abdominal circumference, irregular laxity of the abdominal--may be clarified by MRI.
