The development and popularity of body contouring procedures such as liposuction and abdominoplasty has renewed interest in the anatomy of the superficial fascia and subcutaneous fat deposits of the abdomen. The study of anatomy of fascia and fetal adipose tissue was proposed as it may be of value in understanding the possible programing of prevention of obesity.
The present study was undertaken to understand the gross anatomy of superficial fascia of abdomen and to study the gross anatomy of future localized fat deposits (LFDs) area of abdomen in fetus.
Four fetus (two male & two female) of four month of intrauterine life were dissected. Attachments & layers of superficial fascia and future subcutaneous fat deposit area of upper and lower abdomen were noted.
Superficial fascia of the abdomen was multi layered in mid line and number of layers reduced laterally as in adult. The future abdominal LFD (localized fat deposits) area in fetus shows brownish-white blubbary tissue without well-defined adult fat lobules.
The attachment and gross anatomy of superficial fascia of the fetus was similar to that in adults. The future LFD areas showed brownish white blubbary tissue with ill-defined fat lobules.
抽脂术和腹部整形术等身体塑形手术的发展与普及，重新激发了人们对腹部浅筋膜和皮下脂肪沉积解剖结构的兴趣。由于对筋膜和胎儿脂肪组织的解剖学研究可能有助于理解预防肥胖的潜在机制，因此开展了此项研究。
本研究旨在了解腹部浅筋膜的大体解剖结构，并研究胎儿腹部未来局部脂肪沉积（LFD）区域的大体解剖结构。
解剖4例妊娠4个月的胎儿（2男2女）。记录腹部浅筋膜的附着情况及层次，以及上腹部和下腹部未来皮下脂肪沉积区域的情况。
腹部浅筋膜在中线处为多层结构，向外侧层数逐渐减少，与成人情况相同。胎儿腹部未来的LFD（局部脂肪沉积）区域呈现出棕白色的泡状组织，没有明显的成人脂肪小叶。
胎儿浅筋膜的附着情况和大体解剖结构与成人相似。未来的LFD区域呈现出棕白色的泡状组织，脂肪小叶不明显。
