Rupture of abdominal organs into umbilical cord.
Umbilical hernia, in which some organs in the abdomen push into the umbilical cord.
The term applied to a congenital hernia resulting in the projection of abdominal organs through the umbilicus.
A unique congenital anomaly is characterized by the presence of a membrane-covered sac, which emerges through the belly button, holding a portion of the intestines. In less severe instances of this condition, known as exomphalos, only a couple of intestinal loops are visible outside. However, in more critical situations, a majority of the abdominal organs are exposed. In addition to this, the infant may also display abnormalities in the formation of the intestines.
Exomphalos can occasionally be identified before birth through ultrasound screening. The standard treatment for this condition is surgical intervention. However, the surgical outcomes are heavily influenced by the severity of the defect.
