Grayscale serial foetal morphology ultrasound scan images. 20 weeks of gestation: dilated small bowel (7-10 mm; yellow resonance arrow) and echogenicity within the bowel tissue. 22 weeks of gestation: persistent yet non-progressive small bowel dilation (8-10 mm). Overall stable foetal interval growth, foetal movements, and amniotic fluid index. 24 weeks of gestation: increase in small bowel dilation to 12 mm with mild oedema of the bowel tissue. 26 weeks of gestation: significant and acute reduction in small bowel dilation to 2-3 mm. There is no obvious peristalsis in the proximal gastrointestinal tract but echo-free fluid streaming within the bowel lumen is visualised. The stomach is normal with no polyhydramnios
