Abstract
Enterolithiasis is a rare, prenatal ultrasonographic finding. Previous ly reported cases were invariably associated with major fetal malforma tions. We describe a case of fetal enterolithiasis and anhydramnios in an anatomically normal fetus who, at autopsy, showed end-stage fetal liver disease. Fetal hepatorenal syndrome is the most probable cause o f this in utero sonographic combination. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, L td.
