Prenatal Diagnosis of Thoracoschisis and Review of Literature

Abstract EN

Thoracoschisis is a rare congenital malformation characterized by herniation of the abdominal content through a defect in the thorax.

There are previously 12 reported cases, most discussing the postnatal findings and management.

Here we describe a case of left thoracoschisis with associated upper limb abnormality which was diagnosed antenatally with the aid of 3D ultrasound.
