Abstract
|
|
|
Omphalocele or fetal umbilical hernia is due to the failure of the abdominal wall development during the early fetal life and usually one or some of the organs are eviscerated out of the abdominal cavity through the umbilical cord.
Therefore omphalocele should be differentiated . from the other two types of the umbilical hernia which are infantile and adult umbilical hernia.
Omphalocele is a relatively rare congenital anomaly reported to occur about once in every 5000 to 10, 000 births. Incidence of the other two types is reported 1 out of every 50 births.
Generally severe forms of the omphalocele demands immediate surgical intervention, but the prognosis is reported not much expectable.
Here a case of omphalocele of 8 hrs. old infant which had been successfully managed by the repair of the abdominal defect in one stage procedure by us was presented.
