Abstract
A woman was referred at 25 weeks' gestation with decreased fetal movements. Ultrasound revealed a large solid fetal abdominal mass and gross fetal ascites. Amniocentesis and viral titers were normal. On subsequent ultrasound examinations, the mass and ascites slowly disappeared, but a small bowel obstruction developed. Spontaneous labor occurred at 35 weeks and the child was born with a distended abdomen. At laparotomy there was type 3 jejunal atresia, indicating that the fetal mass and ascites were secondary to this antenatal small bowel ischemia.
