Intestinal duplication. Fetus at 24 weeks' gestation. a Fetal sagittal single-shot fast spin-echo MR image: a hyperintense structure (long arrow) is seen above the bladder (short arrow); in T1-weighted sequences this lesion was hypointense. The rest of the intestinal loops were normal at MR, but intestinal occlusion with marked dilatation of the intestinal loops was present at birth. Surgical intervention discovered intestinal duplication (b). Intestinal duplication caused volvulus of the small intestine
