Normal development of the anterior abdominal wall depends on the fusion of four ectomesodermic folds (cephalic, caudal and two lateral). At 8–10 weeks of gestation, all fetuses demonstrate herniation of the mid-gut that is visualized as a hyperechogenic mass in the base of the umbilical cord; retraction into the abdominal cavity occurs at 10–12 weeks and is completed by 11 weeks and 5 days. The integrity of the abdominal wall should always be demonstrated; this can be achieved by transverse scans demonstrating the insertion of the umbilical cord. It is also important to visualize the urinary bladder within the fetal pelvis, because this rules out exstrophy of the bladder and of the cloaca.
