Prenatal Diagnosis of the Fetal Esophageal or Intestinal Atresia

Aim- to investigate how prenatal diagnosis of fetal esophageal or intestinal atresia impacts obstetric and neonatal outcomes.

Methods- This was a retrospective cohort study at a single center. The study population comprised 51 consecutive pregnancies, including 29 mothers (57%) and their fetuses affected by prenatally diagnosed fetal esophageal or intestinal atresia, and 22 mothers (43%) and their babies with postnatally diagnosed fetal esophageal or intestinal atresia.

  • all newborns managed for such atresia in our unit of pediatric surgery

Exclusion criteria

  • termination of pregnancy,
  • stillbirth,
  • the false positive cases

Treatment and study plan

scheduled delivery at a tertiary center

Procedure

Neonatal units in French hospitals are classified in three levels. The intention is for infants requiring high level care to receive it in a tertiary neonatal unit within the same network when appropriate. In case of known fetal gastro-intestinal artesia, the prenatal care includes obstetric consultation and level 3 ultrasound scheduled every four weeks at our unit until the end of the pregnancy, antenatal consultations with a specialized multidisciplinary team, and an antenatal visit of the birth center to reduce the parental anxiety.
