1. Omphalocele

   Omphalocele or omphalocoele also called exomphalos, is a rare abdominal wall defect. Beginning at the 6th week of development, rapid elongation of the gut and increased liver size reduces intra abdominal space, which pushes intestinal loops out of the abdominal cavity. Around 10th week, the intestine returns to the abdominal cavity and the process is completed by the 12th week. Persistence of intestine or the presence of other abdominal viscera (e.g. stomach, liver) in the umbilical cord results in an omphalocele. Omphalocele occurs in 1 in 4,000 births and is associated with a high rate of mortality (25%) and severe malformations, such as cardiac anomalies (50%), neural tube defect (40%), exstrophy of the bladder and Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome. Approximately 15% of live-born infants with omphalocele have chromosomal abnormalities. About 30% of infants with an omphalocele have other congenital abnormalities.

1. omphalocele

   Omphalocele is a birth defect where an infant's intestines or other abdominal organs are outside of the body because of a hole in the navel (belly button) area. The organs are covered in a thin, nearly transparent sac that the baby's body created during development in the womb. This condition often requires surgical treatment after birth.

1. Omphalocele

   An omphalocele is a type of abdominal wall defect in which the intestines, liver, and occasionally other organs remain outside of the abdomen in a sac because of a defect in the development of the muscles of the abdominal wall. Omphalocele occurs in 2.5/10,000 births and is associated with a high rate of mortality and severe malformations, such as cardiac anomalies and neural tube defect. Approximately 15% of live-born infants with omphalocele have chromosomal abnormalities.
