Methods We reviewed all subsequent cases referred for an anechoic abdominal cyst from 2009 to 2013. Prenatal US was compared to postnatal diagnosis (imaging or surgery). The prenatal diagnosis was defined as 'correct' if a specific prenatal diagnosis or one of the possible diagnoses was confirmed postnatally, as 'not confirmed' if the postnatal examination revealed no abnormalities and as 'incorrect' if the postnatal diagnosis was different from those suggested prenatally.
