TI  - Perinatal Outcome of Fetal Echogenic Bowel: A Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study
AB  - OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate perinatal outcome of fetal echogenic bowel.STUDY DESIGN: In this retrospective cohort study, fetuses with echogenic bowel diagnosed and followed in our center between 2013-2017 were included. Fetuses and infants were evaluated in terms ofantenatal comorbidities and postnatal persistent diseases. Infants were followed-up to June 2018 fromtime of diagnosis. Demographic questionnaire and face to face interview were used to obtain data including immune system diseases and respiratory system pathologies in infants.RESULTS: A total of 100 fetuses with echogenic bowel were included in the study. Fetal aneuploidy wasdetected in 7 (7%) cases. Trisomy 21 was the most common aneuploidy and identified in 4 (4%) cases.Other chromosomal disorders were tetrasomy 12p (1%), 69XXX (1%) and 46 XX, t (2,22) (9q9) (1%). Afetal echogenic bowel was associated with major congenital malformations in 25 (%25) cases. Cardiacabnormality was the most prevalent (%7). First and second trimester vaginal bleeding history was foundin 5 pregnant women. In 3 case with isolated echogenic bowel (no congenital malformation and aneuploidy), lactose intolerance, celiac disease, and non-obstructive hydrocephalus were diagnosed in earlychildhood.CONCLUSION: Isolated fetal echogenic bowel which can be considered as a soft marker for aneuploidymay be associated with lactose intolerance and celiac disease. Further clinical studies are warranted toevaluate this relationship.
