Gastroschisis
Gastroschisis represents a congenital defect characterized by a defect in the anterior abdominal wall through which the abdominal contents freely protrude. There is no overlying sac and the size of the defect is usually less than 4 cm. The abdominal wall defect is located at the junction of the umbilicus and normal skin, and is almost always to the right of the umbilicus. Widespread use of antenatal ultrasound examination and maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein screening has made detection of gastroschisis possible in the second trimester of pregnancy. Omphalocele is another congenital birth defect, but it involves the umbilical cord itself, and the organs remain enclosed in visceral peritoneum. With omphalocele the defect is usually much larger than in gastroschisis.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
