Abstract
The sonographic diagnosis of duodenal atresia and associated anomalies was made in a fetus at 15 weeks' gestation. A transient double-bubble sign was observed in three other normal fetuses. Sonographers are cau tioned that normal intestinal peristalsis may cause a false image of d uodenal atresia.
