Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Congenital anomalies are structural or functional anomalies that occur during intrauterine life. These conditions may
be identified before birth or after.
Case Report: A 23-year-old female was referred to University of Miyazaki Hospital. Ultrasound showed polyhydramnios, intrauterine
growth restriction, single umbilical artery and dilated fetal bowel loops. Numerical chromosomal anomalies were ruled out by
amniotic fluid analysis. The baby was born at 35 weeks, abdominal X-ray showed features of small intestinal atresia. On day two of
life the baby underwent surgery and had a good prognosis.
Conclusion: Prenatal diagnosis is important to ensure timely management of anomalies.
