Gastrochisis will have a markedly increased AFP testing. It occurs in about 2:10,000 live births. There is a male predominance. It is not genetically related. Coexisting anomalies are rare. It is more common in young mothers. 90% will survive. May have slower growth in the first 5 years but will have normal growth after 5 years. Keep your chin up

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
