Tóm tắt

Congenital abdominal wall defects include several entities such as gastroschisis, omphalocele, and cloacal exstrophy. It is important for perinatal management and parental counseling to understand the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features essential for correctly diagnosing the clinical condition and predicting the prognosis of fetal patients. The purpose of this pictorial review is to demonstrate the MR imaging features of fetal cases with an abdominal wall defect and the pitfalls of image findings.
