- Abstract
The diagnosis of limb body wall complex (LBWC) by ultrasonography does not usually present a problem. The major difficulty we found was severe oligohydramnios or a very complex relationship between the herniated viscera and the deformities. We performed fetography in a pregnant woman with fetal anterior abdominal wall defect at the 28th gestational week to show a peculiar structure of intrauterine membranes of LBWC, and we could obtain a successful prenatal diagnosis of LBWC.
