Value of Biochemical Amniotic Fluid Analysis and Fetal Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Prenatal Diagnosis of Congenital Microgastria

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Congenital microgastria (CM) is a rare condition due to early interruption of stomach development between the 4th and 8th week of gestation, leading to a small midline tubular stomach. Prenatal diagnosis of CM is a challenge with important implications. This study explores the value of biochemical amniotic fluid (AF) analysis and fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the prenatal diagnosis of CM in case of nonvisible stomach on fetal ultrasound.
