Prenatally closed gastroschisis with midgut atresia

Umit Nusret Basaran et al. Pediatr Surg Int. 2002 Sep.

Abstract

Spontaneous prenatal closure of gastroschisis (GS) is rare and usually associated with atresia of the midgut. We describe a case of GS diagnosed at 20 weeks' gestation that resolved spontaneously in utero. At delivery the infant had an ileus. A laparotomy with a jejunocolostomy was performed, but she died at 2 months of age due to complications of total parenteral nutrition.
