Prenatal Diagnosis of a Fetal Abdominal Eventration: A Rare Congenital Abdominal Wall Defect

Abstract

We report a case of abdominal eventration associated with cystic fibrosis, diagnosed by mid-trimester ultrasonography. The defect concerned the abdominal muscles and their aponevrotic sheath, but respected the skin. There was no associated malformation. The outcome was favorable after surgery, and the infant is well at the age of 6 months.
