Abstract
|
|
|
Limb-body wall complex is associated with failure of ventral body wall to close and is a complex set of disruptive
abnormalities consisting of short umbilical cord, the body stalk anomaly, disruption of lateral body wall, scoliosis, and
craniofacial dysostosis. The causes of this disease are still under debate and many factors are involved in the onset
of the disease. Since its prognosis has dreadful, identifying another body wall defect is important.
We experienced a case of limb-body wall complex, which demonstrated a large abdominal defect with eventration
of abdominal organs, short umbilical cord, and scoliosis by ultrasound at 15 weeks of gestation and was followed by
pregnancy termination. Thus, we report this case with brief review of the literatures.
