Short notes on omphaloce​

Babies born with an omphalocele frequently have other complications including:

Poor lung development

Intestines that are slow to handle food

Heart malformations (20 percent)

Beckwith-Wiedeman Syndrome (a condition typified by a large tongue, high insulin and low blood sugar)

Chromosomal abnormalities

Explanation:

Omphalocele or omphalocoele also called exomphalos, is a rare abdominal wall defect. Beginning at the 6th week of development, rapid elongation of the gut and increased liver size reduces intra abdominal space, which pushes intestinal loops out of the abdominal cavity. Around 10th week, the intestine returns to the abdominal cavity and the process is completed by the 12th week. Persistence of intestine or the presence of other abdominal viscera in the umbilical cord results in an omphalocele.
