Overview

The aims of this study are:

  • To assess the performance of third-trimester ultrasound scan in the localization of intestinal structures (small bowel, gut, mesenteric vessels..) involved in malrotations with a higher-risk of volvulus compared to a gold standard based on fetal MRI.
  • To describe normal meconium progression (ultrasound and MRI), prenatal anatomical variants of the fetal digestive tract, and interobserver agreement on prenatal ultrasound.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant women over the age of 18
  • Good understanding of French
  • Gestational age greater than or equal than 31 weeks
  • Fetal MRI indication validated in multidisciplinary staff at weekly meetings of the Multidisciplinary Prenatal Diagnosis Center in Montpellier or Nimes
  • Affiliation or beneficiary of a social security scheme
  • Declaration of free and enlightened opposition

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Complex fetal abdominal malformations responsible for difficult interpretation of imaging: heterotaxis with asplenia or polysplenium, diaphragmatic hernia, omphalocele, gastroschisis, digestive pathology, abdominal tumor, bladder exstrophy or megavessia.
  • Fetal chromosomal abnormality
  • Request for termination of pregnancy validated by a Multidisciplinary Pre-natal Diagnosis Center
