✦ Synopsis

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.
