Key Clinical Message We report two prenatal cases of an exceptional association of digestive tract atresia or perforation with brain hemorrhage. This combination worsens the prognosis leading to termination of pregnancy in one case. We outline the importance of a careful fetal brain examination on imaging in cases of prenatal “acute” abdominal insults.
