Abstract

A case of body stalk anomaly which was diagnosed at 17 weeks of gestation is presented on a second trimester sonography after an abnormal first trimester scan and second opinion review. The fetus displayed multiple anomalies characteristic of body stalk syndrome including abdominal wall defect (omphalocele), kyphoscoliosis, fetal dismorphology and a two vesseled umbilical cord. Body stalk anomaly is a rare congenital anomaly with a series of similar clinical manifestations and poor prognosis.
