A case is presented of an amnionic rupture sequence which led to massive fetal ventral herniation and lordoscoliosis. Characteristic ultrasonographic findings of an omphalocele, fetal attachment to the placenta, and the absence of free-floating umbilical cord were observed.

Background : Terminal myelocystocele is a rare type of skin-covered lumbosacral mass, which often associated with the OEIS complex, combination Omphalocele, cloacal Exstrophy, Imperforate anus, and Spinal cord abnormalities. Due to its rarity, long-term outcome postoperative course are poorly understood.

Tumors of the umbilical cord are rare anomalies and should be considered when using prenatal ultrasound for detection of cystic lesions. Differential diagnosis of umbilical cord tumors should comprise umbilical cord teratoma, hemangioma and angiomyxoma. It can also be an umbilical cord polyp, umbilical cord cyst, hernia into the cord and omphalocele, which are mostly isolated findings, except o...

A newborn with abdominal wall defect is one of the most dramatic cases in neonatology, but also a challenge for pediatric surgeons. This article describes the fundamental concepts of two major abdominal wall defects - gastroschisis and omphalocele - including options and principles of prenatal and postnatal care. Although these birth defects of the abdominal wall are always grouped together, th...

Introduction: Infants born with congenital anomalies demand individualized nutritional evaluations and recommendations. The anatomical changes of neonatal surgical diseases create specific physiological constraints.Patients with different congenital anomalies have different nutritional support needs. It is essential to know the exact physiology of these anomalies in order to be able to manage a...

Fetuses with neural tube defects (NTDs) may be associated with syndromes, disorders, and maternal and fetal risk factors. This article provides a comprehensive review of syndromes, disorders, and maternal and fetal risk factors associated with NTDs, such as omphalocele, OEIS (omphalocele-exstrophy-imperforate anus-spinal defects) complex, pentalogy of Cantrell, amniotic band sequence, limb-body...
