Fetal Diagn Ther. 2008;24(4):437-9. doi: 10.1159/000174570. Epub 2008 Nov 20.

Abstract

Prenatal diagnosis of cloacal exstrophy can be challenging during pregnancy and, subsequently, the counseling very difficult. Available ultrasonographic criteria may be inadequate, especially in early gestational ages. A case of early prenatal detection of cloacal exstrophy with fetal magnetic resonance imaging is reported herein for the first time.
