A Case Report Of An Isolated Dextrogastria Diagnosed In First Trimester Ultrasound Screening

Abstract

Isolated dextrogastria is an uncommon congenital abnormality defined by rightward stomach rotation. Although it was usually thought to be a harmless discovery with no long-term implications, potential connections with other congenital malformations have been documented. In our case, a 30-year-old primigravida’s fetus with isolated dextrogastria and an abdominal cyst gave birth at 38 weeks of pregnancy and later received a biliary atresia diagnosis. This case report contributes to the expanding collection of literature on solitary dextrogastria and highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring for any related anomalies and long-term repercussions.
