Abstract
We report three cases of unusual skin covered abdominal wall defects not accurately diagnosed by prenatal sonography. An associated omphalocele was recognized in two but misinterpreted as a giant omphalocele in one. Suspicious sonographic features - an enlarged abdominal circumference, irregular laxity of the abdominal - may be clarified by MRI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
