Echographic characteristics of the malformations associated with abnormal urorectal septum development
Three cases of prenatal diagnosis of malformations associated with abnormal urorectal septum development were presented at 12, 20 and 31 weeks of gestation. The difficulty to diagnose this group of malformations is reported to depend on the characteristics of the echographic pattern at various stages of pregnancy due to a complex multi-system anatomical variation.
