summary In a 24‐month prospective screening programme 6020 pregnant women were examined with diagnostic ultrasound at 17 and 32 weeks gestation. In a total of 23 (0.38%) abnormalities, four cases of urinary tract and two of intestinal tract abnormalities were discovered. The antenatal diagnosis influenced the management of these disorders both before and after birth.
