Introduction: Congenital morphological defects involve the thoracic-abdominal wall of the fetus or the newborn; they present a diagnostic challenge in diverse areas of perinatal medicine. Some defects overlap; some share altered segments; some may have similar etiologies or not.Methods:Literature review used databases that sought diagnostic criteria on some of the most frequent syndromes that involve congenital thoracicabdominal wall defects. These are illustrated below with cases from the San Ignacio University Hospital.Results: A guide was compiled using the information obtained.Conclusions: Due to diagnostic complexity of fetal and neonatal thoracicabdominal wall defects: size, maceration changes and associated malformations, it is indispensable that specific criteria be recognized in order to reach a proper conclusion. |
