Re: have a questionFrom: Martin Necas and Tania Keep (exiled@clear.net.nz)Tue Aug 4 06:08:29 1998
Dear K, I will only comment on the last two of your questions:
>Is the umbilical cord usually shorter with limb body wall? Yes. Hence the term "short umbilical cord syndrome". This is due to the fact that the amnion is adherent to the ventral body wall. Therefore, there is usually very short umbilical cord.
>Is the chromosomal count usually abnormal with limb body wall. I hope that helps. I am not familiar with surgical techniques to correct the ventral body defect. I would tend to think the prognosis in these babies would be highly dependent on the severity of the defects, and would not be very good for fetuses with severe or multiple associated abnormalities.

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.
