Congenital abdominal wall defects
Archives of disease in childhood - Education & practice edition, 2016A 24-year-old Caucasian, nulliparous woman had an abnormal antenatal ultrasound scan at 14 weeks gestation (see figure 1). A repeat scan at 20 weeks confirmed the findings. A fetomaternal medicine consultant counselled parents. At 33+5 weeks gestation, she delivered a 1.9 kg male infant by caesarean section for fetal distress following spontaneous ...

Neonatal abdominal wall defects
Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2011Gastroschisis and omphalocele are the two most common congenital abdominal wall defects. Both are frequently detected prenatally due to routine maternal serum screening and fetal ultrasound. Prenatal diagnosis may influence timing, mode and location of delivery.

The frequent use of prenatal diagnostic techniques including ultrasound and maternal serum alpha‐fetoprotein has increasingly led to detection of abdominal wall defects before birth. This prenatal detection creates the opportunity to influence neonatal outcome by alteration in management of pregnancy or delivery. The optimal management of an individual

Summary Herniation of viscera through defects of the abdominal wall can be categorised into gastroschisis, omphalocele, and the rarer bladder or cloacal exstrophy. Many of the principles of diagnosis and management are similar for these conditions. Gastroschisis is a small defect positioned to the right of the umbilicus.

Abstract The major congenital abdominal wall defects of gastroschisis and exomphalos (omphalocele) may be subject to viscero-abdominal disproportion, which determines the approach to management. Common principles of management are careful reduction of the viscera and closure of the defect to avoid potentially life-threatening ...

Two main types of abdominal wall defects were studied, omphalocele (n=133) and gastroschisis (n=194). Low maternal age was associated with a low risk for omphalocele but a high risk for gastroschisis. For both types of malformation the risk at parity 1 was higher than at higher parity.

The risk of volvulus in abdominal wall defects
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2015Congenital abdominal wall defects are associated with abnormal intestinal rotation and fixation. A Ladd's procedure is not routinely performed in these patients; it is believed intestinal fixation is provided by adhesions that develop post-repair of the defects.
