Omphalocele with Hypoalbunemia and Testicular Torsion
Journal Title: Medical Journal of Clinical Trials & Case Studies - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
An Omphalocele is a birth defect in which an infant’s intestine or other abdominal organs are outside of the body because of a hole in the belly button (navel) area. The intestines are covered only by a thin layer of tissue and can be easily seen. Infants with an Omphalocele often have other birth defects. Defects include genetic problems (chromosomal abnormalities), congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and heart and kidney defects. These problems also affect the overall outlook (prognosis) for the baby’s health and survival the condition looks like gastroschisis. An Omphalocele is a birth defect in which the infant’s intestine or other abdominal organs protrude through a hole in the belly button area and are covered with a membrane. In gastroschisis, there is no covering membrane Omphalocele occurs in 1 in 4,000 births and is associated with a high rate of mortality (25%) and severe malformations, such as cardiac anomalies (50%), neural tube defect (40%), exstrophy of the bladder and Beckwith–Weidman syndrome. Approximately 15% of live-born infants with Omphalocele have chromosomal abnormalities. About 30% of infants with an Omphalocele have other congenital abnormalities.
