Stopped: Study manager's decision
The objective is to evaluate the quality of the response to the Blood Oxygen Level Dependent effect in fetuses with diaphragmatic hernias and abdominal wall malformations and to correlate with postnatal respiratory outcome. Pulmonary involvement is a constant in diaphragmatic hernias, it is classic in omphaloceles and especially hepatomphaloceles, and exceptional in laparoschisis. As this is an original exploratory study, no preliminary data are available. If a correlation is found, the Blood Oxygen Level Dependent effect of the fetal lung may be considered as an early functional marker of postnatal lung function. It can be used in addition to lung-to-head-ratio during prenatal counseling. The final goal is to be able to detect early in the fetus pulmonary insufficiency to help prenatal counseling and perinatal care.
