Fetal gastrointestinal abnormalities are readily detected by ultrasonography. The presentation, management, and outcome of 17 cases of fetal gastrointestinal and associated anomalies are presented. Antenatal knowledge of these abnormalities can potentially decrease neonatal morbidity and mortality because the appropriate preparations can be made in advance of delivery.

Key Words: fetal ultrasonography • gastrointestinal malformation • fetus • abdomen
