title: Early prenatal diagnosis of cloacal exstrophy with fetal magnetic resonance imaging.
abstract: Prenatal diagnosis of cloacal exstrophy can be challenging during pregnancy and, subsequently, the counseling very difficult. Available ultrasonographic criteria may be inadequate, especially in early gestational ages. A case of early prenatal detection of cloacal exstrophy with fetal magnetic resonance imaging is reported herein for the first time.
