HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Definition:Fetal bowel dilatation is characterized by fluid-filled intestinal loops which measure at least fifteen millimeters long or seven millimeters in diameter. Ultrasonographic image of dilated fetal bowel is a sign of intestinal mechanical or functional obstruction and its prevalence will depend on the underlying condition: bowel atresia or stenosis, malrotation with volvulus, meconium ileus, total colonic aganglionosis, and meconium plug syndrome. The etiology of fetal bowel dilatation is a difficult prenatal diagnosis since ultrasound has limited accuracy for bowel evaluation.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: Foetal bowel dilatation;   Prenatal ultrasound: bowel loops dilated
