Abstract
|
|
|
Omphalocele (Exomphalos)is a rare congenital anormaly which is a defect of the abdominal wall at the umbilicus with herniation of abdominal contents.
The large lesion consists of the most abdominal viisceras herniating into the base of the umbilical cord provides a covering of amniotic membrane and peritoneum. Gastroschisis differs from the omphalocele in that there is a normal insertion of the umbilical cord to the abdominal wall. Also there is paraumbilical full thickness abdominal wall defect and abscence of sac covering the herniated viscera.
We have experienced 2 patients of omphalocele including a case of ruptured omphalocele which is life threatening and reported with reviewed literatures at Department of Surgery, College of Medicine, Jeonbug National University.
