[Prenatal sonographic diagnosis of multiple malformation in foetus--formation of ventral cleft and cephalocele (author's transl)]. 1981

H Watzek

Reference is made to a case history of prenatal use of ultrasonography, in 34th week of pregnancy by which formation of a ventral cleft in conjunction with cephalocele was diagnosed. Additional methods to secure diagnosis are described and compared, including alpha-foetal protein evaluation and amniofoetography. Also discussed are obstetric consequences likely to result from possible prepartum diagnosis of such malformations.

D004677	Encephalocele	Brain tissue herniation through a congenital or acquired defect in the skull. The majority of congenital encephaloceles occur in the occipital or frontal regions. Clinical features include a protuberant mass that may be pulsatile. The quantity and location of protruding neural tissue determines the type and degree of neurologic deficit. Visual defects, psychomotor developmental delay, and persistent motor deficits frequently occur.

D006554	Hernia, Umbilical	A HERNIA due to an imperfect closure or weakness of the umbilical ring. It appears as a skin-covered protrusion at the UMBILICUS during crying, coughing, or straining. The hernia generally consists of OMENTUM or SMALL INTESTINE. The vast majority of umbilical hernias are congenital but can be acquired due to severe abdominal distention.
