Gastroschisis is an extraumbilical abdominal wall anomaly with normal cord insertion, and without a sac or a sac remnant, and with non rotation of an abnormally short midgut, which requires a surgical emergency in the new-born infants. We experienced one survival case of gastroschisis, which was treated surgically´ by primary skin closure of the abdominal wall defect and gastrostomy. Thee child had uneventful post-operative course and has grown up normal and healthy. This paper is concerned with our experience of the survival case and reviewed the embryology, pathology, associated abnormalities and the current concepts in the management of gastroschisis in the literatures.
