Abstract

We describe 14 cases of omphalocele diagnosed by real-time sonography and submitted to magnetic resonance imaging on the third trimester. This exam allowed a precise and accurate definition of the size of the abdominal orifice, as well as the contents inside and outside the abdominal cavity and the detection of associated anomalies. The three dimensional images obtained with MRI were very useful for the neonatal surgeons in planning their intervention and counseling parents about the prognosis of their infant. MRI contributes significantly to optimize the prenatal management and counseling of cases of omphalocele.
