A 28-year-old pregnant female with a follow-up 4D US reveling fetal small bowel dilatation. Ultrasound findings: A, B axial sections of the fetal abdomen showing borderline fetal small bowel dilatation with a maximum diameter of 14 mm. C axial section revealing a normal caliper colon. (D) images showing a normal AFI of 14.6 cm3. MRI Findings: E Coronal, F axial T2WIs showing borderline fetal small bowel dilatation up to distal ileal loops in the left iliac region with the normal position of duodenojejunal flexure. G, H, I coronal T1WIs show an average caliper fetal whole colon down to the normal anorectal junction. J Postnatal fetal erect abdominal X-ray showed no air-fluid levels and the infant passed meconium combined US and MRI Diagnosis: Distal ileal stricture rather than atresia. Termination by CS at GA 39 weeks
