Omfalosel ve krarıioraşişiz totalis birlikteliği: Tanısal özellikleriyle birlikte üç boyutlu ultrasonografinin yeri

Omphalocele is an anterior abdominal wall defect with the herniation of the visceral contents covered by athin membrane. It is one of the most common malformations of the anterior abdominal wall, with highmorbidity and mortality. The incidence of omphalocele is nearly 1 in 5,000 live births. Cranirachischisistotalis is anencephaly with a contiguous spinal defect. The defect occurs with the failure of neural tube toclose within 28 days after conception and leads to fetal loss, still birth, or neonatal death. Prenatal diagnostictool for both anomalies is ultrasound. In most cases two-dimensional conventional ultrasound providessufficient images for the accurate diagnosis. In this report, we present the association of omphalocele andcraniorachischisis with the three-dimensional ultrasonographic and post-abortal findings
