at mean 34+1 weeks lead to emergency CS. One of these fetuses was growth-retarded (−36%) and was delivered at 29+5 weeks and had a subsequent normal development. Spontaneous onset of labor started in 17% at mean 34+6 weeks. Closing or closed gastroschisis was correctly diagnosed prenatally in 10%. In 2 of these cases, closed gastroschisis with subsequent short bowel syndrome occurred already before viability; the other cases could be delivered prior to irreversible bowel damage. Conclusions: The intense surveillance of fetuses with gastroschisis seems to be important for detecting cases at risk for fetal distress and may thereby reduce the risk of intrauterine fetal death. Especially in complicated cases, for example growth retardation, the CTG surveillance may be of utter importance. In addition correct diagnosis of closing/closed gastroschisis is possible and may prevent the risk of vanishing bowel.
