Abstract

Gastroschisis is a rare anomaly and it is usually not associated with other syndromic and nonsyndromic anomalies. This is the case of gastroschisis with aneulpoidy (Turner syndrome). A fetal huge cystic hygroma was diagnosed by prenatal sonography at 14 weeks’ gestation. Combined hydrothorax was diagnosed at the same time. The pregnancy was terminated by induction of labor at 15 weeks’ gestation. The female fetus had a big membrane of cystic hygroma surrounding the fetal neck with multiple septations. Additionally, a full abdominal thickness defect with multiple loops of bowel outside the abdomen, which could not be diagnosed on prenatal ultrasound scan, was detected on postnatal examination. It would be possible support explanations for the co-existence of gastroschisis with cystic hygroma might be compression of the cystic mass on the abdominal wall causing occlusion of the terminal segment of the right omphalomesenteric artery or the flow-related anomalies of the cardiovascular system commonly seen in Turner syndrome.
