Helical CT amniography of congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

OBJECTIVE

Accurate prenatal diagnosis of congenital diaphragmatic hernia is important for perinatal planning and potential fetal surgery. We describe the application and usefulness of helical CT amniography in the evaluation of suspected congenital diaphragmatic hernia in three fetuses.

CONCLUSION

Helical CT amniography is an efficient means for evaluation of congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Accurate diagnosis was made in all three patients.
