OMPHALOCELE : A RARE CASE REPORT

Dr. Jaya Patel, Dr. Bhupeshwari Gour

Abstract :

An omphalocele is a ventral defect of the umbilical ring resulting in herniation of the abdominal viscera. Omphaloceles occur in 1 in 3,000 to 10,000 live births. Associated malformations such as chromosomal, cardiac, or genitourinary abnormalities are common. Postnatal management includes protection of the herniated viscera, maintenance of fluids and electrolytes, prevention of hypothermia, gastric decompression, prevention of sepsis, and maintenance of cardiorespiratory stability followed by primary or staged closure of defect. Here we report a case of large omphalocele containing liver, spleen in addition to bowel.
