[Gastroschisis and omphalocele in the same family (author's transl)]. 1980

D Gaillard

Occurrence of gastroschisis and omphalocele in the same sibship reported for the first time. After a first case of gastroschisis, it is advisable to measure the alpha-fetoprotein level in the maternal serum and to perform diagnostic ultrasonography in the next pregnancy in order to make a prenatal diagnosis. The authors suggest the existence of a similar anomaly of the umbilical ring.
