ABSTRACT

A case of prenatal sonographic diagnosis of fetal small bowel atresia at 31 weeks of gestation is described. At explorative laparotomy following delivery, an “apple peel” type of jejunal atresia was found. The etiology, diagnosis, and clinical management of fetuses with small bowel atresia are discussed.
