gastroschisis is a parietal abnormality which is part of median coelosomies, and is characterised by evisceration at the right latero-umbilical level of the viscera. Its incidence is in increasing. Environmental factors such as young maternal age, druguse, smoking and low socio-economic class have been invoked to explain the genesis of this parietal anomaly, however no genetic factor is incriminated. Prenatal ultrasound allows the diagnosis to be made. The final prognosis is conditioned by the ischemic digestive lesions objectified at birth for which therapeutic treatment is often limited. We report two cases of gastroschis diagnosed antenatally in patients in labor, and whose postnatal examination confirms the diagnosis.
