A member asked:
What does it mean if my baby has an echogenic bowel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Echogenic Bowel: Echogenic bowel is where the bowel appears "brighter" than bone. It is usually seen in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy. It can be associated with a perfectly normal fetus or a number of other issues: fetuses with aneuploidy (i.e. trisomy 21), intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), bleeding, cystic fibrosis (CF), congenital viral infections, and thalassemia.Best to discuss with doc who ordered US.
