Eight instances of homogeneous, well-defined echoes within the fetal stomach were identified on routine second trimester detailed scan over a 7 month period, a prevalence of 1 in 287 or 0.35%. This finding was significantly more frequent in women who had cytogenetic amniocentesis than in those who had not had the procedure (4 in 266 [1.5%] versus 4 in 2031 [0.2%], respectively; P < 0.01). Indirect signs of intra-amniotic bleeding, such as particles in the amniotic fluid, chorioamniotic separation, or hyperechogenic bowel, were present in four cases. The association between echogenic material within the fetal stomach and cytogenetic material within the fetal stomach and cytogenetic amniocentesis is discussed.
