ABSTRACT

Hyperechogenic fetal bowel occurs in 0,2% and 1,8% of normal pregnancies during the second trimester ultrasound and it is readily distinguishable from other meconium conditions such as fetal ascites, intraabdominal calcification, and intestinal dilatation. Fetal bowel hyperechogenicity is considered a normal variant or “soft marker” that can also associated with a variety of other pathologic conditions. As a prenatal fetal marker is advisable the examination of placental and fetal anatomy and the state of amniotic fluid. These examinations will allow choice the adequate behavior.
