Abstract
Prenatal ultrasonography is a useful and important tool in the correct identification of abdominal wall defects. The differential diagnosis consists of omphalocele, gastroschisis, umbilical hernia, bladder or c loacal extrophy, urachal cyst, allantoic cyst, and omphalomesenteric d uct abnormalities.(1-10) We present a case of a vesico- allantoic abdo minal wall defect detected in early pregnancy and its changing ultraso nographic appearance as pregnancy progressed.
