  • Title: Esophageal and duodenal atresia in a fetus with Down's syndrome: prenatal sonographic features.
    Author: Chitty LS, Goodman J, Seller MJ, Maxwell D.
    Journal: Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol; 1996 Jun; 7(6):450-2. PubMed ID: 8807765.
    Abstract:
    Ultrasound examination of a 22-week fetus demonstrated a grossly distended stomach and proximal duodenum, with a large cystic area in the chest. There was associated polyhydramnios. A presumptive diagnosis of duodenal atresia with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia was made. Analysis of a fetal blood sample showed that the fetus had Down's syndrome. Histological examination after termination of the pregnancy revealed the unusual combination of duodenal and esophageal atresia, with an intact diaphragm.
