- Abstract
Introduction: Congenital morphological defects involve the thoracic-abdominal wall of the fetus or the newborn; they present a diagnostic challenge in diverse areas of perinatal medicine. Some defects overlap; some share altered segments; some may have similar etiologies or not. Methods: Literature review used databases that sought diagnostic criteria on some of the most frequent syndromes that involve congenital thoracic-abdominal wall defects. These are illustrated below with cases from the San Ignacio University Hospital. Results: A guide was compiled using the information obtained. Conclusions: Due to diagnostic complexity of fetal and neonatal thoracic-abdominal wall defects: size, maceration changes and associated malformations, it is indispensable that specific criteria be recognized in order to reach a proper conclusion.
