Abstract

Severe oligohydramnios and extremely dilated bowel filled with hyperechogenic material floating in fluid were the ultrasonographic findings in a fetus at 27 weeks' gestation. Vesicorectal communication and urethral-anal atresia permitted urine to empty into the colon, causing megacolon, oligohydramnios, and markedly increased intraabdominal pressure resulting in pulmonary hypoplasia.
