“…Fetal echogenic bowel (FEB) on second-trimester ultrasonography has been found to be associated with cystic fibrosis (CF) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7], chromosomal abnormalities [5][6][7][8][9][10][11], intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) [2,5,6,9,10], intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD) [2,5,6,9,10,12], congenital infection [6,9,12], fetal anomalies [13], preterm delivery [5,6], gastrointestinal obstruction and/or perforation not associated with CF [3,12,14], intra-amniotic bleeding [15,16], and fetal alcohol syndrome [6].
