Özet
"Body stalk anomaly" is a rare developmental anomaly characterized by an enlarged abdominal wall defect, severe kyphoscoliosis and a rudimentary umbilical cord. It is often complicated by anomalies of head, face and extremities. Prenatal diagnosis by ultrasonography is possible. We present a case of body stalk anomaly diagnosed at 19 weeks of gestation. Sonographic features of the fetus were severe midline defect of the fetal abdominal wall, single atrium in fetus heart, severe scoliosis and clubfoot. Body stalk anomaly is accepted as a fatal anomaly and termination of pregnancy is advised.
