Case Report - Perforated small bowel in omphalocele at birth
Kale R, Handa R, Harjai ManMohan
Abstract
The rupture of an omphalocele sac during birth is a well recognized entity. The associated lesions due to vascular compromise can result in necrosis of the bowel with perforation. Spontaneous bowel perforation in an omphalocele at birth is not reported in the literature. We describe a case with bowel perforation at the fundus of an omphalocele in a newborn.
Keywords
