Enterolithiasis is a rare, prenatal ultrasonographic finding. Previously reported cases were invariably associated with major fetal malformations. We describe a case of fetal enterolithiasis and anhydramnios in an anatomically normal fetus who, at autopsy, showed end‐stage fetal liver disease. Fetal hepatorenal syndrome is the most probable cause of this in utero sonographic combination. Copyright © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
