Magnetic resonance imaging in the prenatal diagnosis of congenital diarrhea.

The article presents a study which evaluates the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and prenatal ultrasound in the diagnosis of congenital diarrhea in fetuses. It says that after evaluating the MRI examinations and fetal ultrasound of four fetuses, the provisional diagnosis was compared with the amniotic fluid biochemistry, then with the neonatal stool characteristics. The results show that the gathering of MRI findings provides an accurate prenatal diagnosis of congenital diarrhea.
