C. Maier, D. Folea, R. Vlădăreanu, R. Tocariu, M. Șerban, M. Mitran, E. Brătilă


Rezumat: Body stalk anomaly is a term used to describe a pattern of severe defects that are incompatible with life. This condition should be suspected when encountering a large abdominal defect, along with axial skeletal abnormalities such as kyphosis or scoliosis and a short or absent umbilical cord. Body stalk anomaly is considered a fatal anomaly, thus being crucial to distinguish it from other anterior wall defects when evaluating the management options. We report the case of a patient diagnosed at 15 weeks of gestation with a complex of severe fetal anomalies that were confirmed after the termination of pregnancy as body stalk anomaly, and we also discuss data published in literature regarding this topic.
Cuvinte cheie: body stalk anomaly, ultrasound, lethal.
