The presence of an omphalocele is often associated with cardiac defects.

With omphalocele the defect is usually much larger than in gastroschisis.

Gastroschisis is less frequently associated with other defects than omphalocele.

The second hypothesis does not explain the low percentage of associated abnormality compared with omphalocele.

Approximately 15% of live-born infants with omphalocele have chromosomal abnormalities.

Other malformations that have been noted with the syndrome are omphalocele and an umbilical hernia.

Omphalocele is a life-threatening event requiring immediate intervention.

Abdominal wall defects, specifically the main two types, gastroschisis and omphalocele, are rare in occurrence.

They are omphalocele and gastroschisis.

Let's take a look at two conditions in which organs, or parts of organs, appear outside of the body: gastroschisis and omphalocele.

She died shortly after being born on September 26, 2006, due to omphalocele, a birth defect that caused her organs to grow outside her body.

Bleeding Infection Additional risks of omphalocele repair include:

Newborns with an omphalocele typically require surgery to place the abdominal contents back into the abdomen in order to prevent serious infection or shock.

An omphalocele is often detected through AFP screening or a detailed fetal ultrasound.

Additional services are usually necessary for with omphalocele and the associated chromosomal abnormalities and birth defects that also arise.

The year before, Taylor was born with a serious birth defect, omphalocele - her liver and small intestine protruded from her abdomen.

Omphalocele (abdominal defect)

The omphalocele can be mild, with only a small loop of intestines present outside the abdomen, or severe, containing most of the abdominal organs.

Omphalocele occurs when some of the organs protrude through the muscles of the abdomen in the area surrounding the umbilical cord.

An AFP test can help find an omphalocele, a congenital problem in which some of the baby's intestines stick out through the belly wall.

Medical literature reports four tetra-X pregnancies, two healthy, one with trisomy 21, one stillborn with omphalocele.

These defects can range in severity from omphalocele (most serious) to umbilical hernia and diastasis recti (least serious).

Omphalocele is another congenital birth defect, but it involves the umbilical cord itself, and the organs remain enclosed in visceral peritoneum.

An omphalocele (British English: omphalocoele) 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 (exomphalos).

Originally termed EMG syndrome (for "exomphalos", "macroglossia", and "gigantism"), this syndrome over time became known as Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome or Wiedemann Beckwith syndrome.

He was born in the Victorian town of Orbost with exomphalos, a condition in which the abdomen develops outside the body; in his case, the condition affected other organs, including his liver.
