Informal Case:GastroschisisFrom: HDjmann@aol.comTue Mar 26 20:17:46 2002
I have been told that my unborn baby has gastroschisis.I am a 24 year old female with 3 living children ages 5 , 34 months and10 months.i have another child with a history of birth defects.She was born at 30 weeks gestation .At 38 weeks she waws found to have intestinal malrotation and an obstructed bowel.Could there be any connection?my daughter is doing fine now after surgical correction of the problem.I have so many questions about gastroschisis,like what are the long term effects .how do children do after they go home.?do they have any problems later on in life with intestinal problems,reflux,intestinal disorders/diseases.what are they long term problems if any that a child/adult might suffer because of this.can a person live a normal and active life after being born with this.and is there any way that in utero surgey could be done to decrease the protrusion and incidence of problems with the bowel.is there a better chance for the baby if the mother delivers early since the bowel will not be in the amniotic fluid for a longer period of time?any help would be greatly appreciated!thank you.....;tonya house - baillargeon

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.
