Omphalocele and gastroschisis: prenatal diagnosis and peripartal management

Prenatally diagnosed giant omphaloceles: short‐ and long‐term outcomes

“…The 75% survival rate at one year of age of the live-born babies is mainly due to the absence of major associated congenital malformations in the study population. Associated anomalies (visceral and cardiac malformations, abnormal karyotype or genetic syndromes) are usually present in 30 to 60% of the cases and are the major determinants of outcomes along with the size of the defect (Axt et al, 1999;Paidas et al, 1994;Tucci and Brad, 1990;Dunn and Fonkalsrud, 1997;Koivusalo et al, 2002).…”

“…Omphalocele is one of the most common fetal abdominal wall defects, with an incidence estimated at 1 in 6000 live births (Bianchi et al, 2000;Axt et al, 1999;Paidas et al, 1994). This abdominal wall defect is usually classified into three groups (small, giant and ruptured omphaloceles) (Kamata et al, 1996;Tsakayannis et al, 1996).…”

Diagnosis of abdominal wall defects in the first trimester

“…Omphalocele is a congenital defect of the abdominal wall affecting 1 in 4000-7000 live births [1,2].…”

Abdominal wall defects: omphalocele and gastrschisis

“…Etkilenmiş fetus için en iyi sonucu almak için erken ve yakın iş birliği gereklidir. Antenatal tanı almış fetusların büyüme geriliği, oligohidroamnios, polihidroamnios ve fetal distres belirtileri açısından yakın takibi gerekir (11) .…”
