Giant Omphalocele Complicated by 9P Minus Syndrome

Journal of the National Medical Association, 2021
Omphalocele is characterized as a ventral wall defect in which there exists a midline herniation of abdominal viscera into the base of the umbilical cord. Fetuses with a diagnosis of this entity are at a significantly increased risk of having an aneuploidy, additional anomalies, or associations with other syndromes such as Beckwith Wiederman. Secondary

Giant Omphalocele

NeoReviews
Omphalocele is the second most common congenital abdominal wall defect, affecting approximately 1 to 2 per 10 000 live births, and it requires intensive neonatal care at birth. Omphalocele is characterized by herniation of abdominal viscera into a membranous sac through a defect at the umbilical ring.

Giant Omphalocele

JAMA, 1963
THE OPERATION devised by Gross, in 1948, has made it possible to save the lives of many infants with enormous omphaloceles, in whom a primary closure of the abdominal wall in all of its layers is out of the question. Pointing out that forceful approximation of the widely separated recti resulted in intolerable increase in intra-abdominal pressure and ...

Staged repair of giant omphalocele in the neonatal period

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2005
The aim of this study was to analyze the outcome of giant omphalocele repaired in the neonatal period.Twelve consecutive (1997-2004) neonates with giant omphalocele (defect >6 cm with liver herniation) were reviewed. A silo of Prolene mesh (Ethicon) was attached to the fascia and the defect was closed without opening the amniotic sac after sequential ...

External compression as initial management of giant omphaloceles

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1996
The authors describe a noninvasive technique for the management of giant omphaloceles. Two patients with giant omphaloceles were managed with external compression. Dry sterile dressings were used, buttressed by an Ace bandage in the first case and by a handcrafted Velcro abdominal binder in the second. The binder was tightened every 2 or 3 days. Renal,

Early reconstruction of the abdominal wall in giant omphalocele

British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2004
Omphalocele is the most common congenital defect of the abdominal wall. Mortality rate is between 20 and 70% and early closure of the abdominal wall, within 10 days of life, is vital to the successful outcome of the surgical treatment. The authors describe the use of two bipedicled flaps of abdominal skin to correct the defect of the midline as soon as

External silo reduction of the unruptured giant omphalocele

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1987
Construction of an external silo dressing over the intact omphalocele membrane allows complete reduction of the giant omphalocele with enlargement of the abdominal cavity before surgical intervention, so that primary closure of the abdominal wall can be achieved.

The use of tissue expanders in the closure of a giant omphalocele

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2004
Giant omphalocele is associated with a high degree of visceroabdominal disproportion, which prohibits safe primary closure. Conventional treatment options include (1) topical therapy with epithelialization followed by secondary ventral hernia repair and (2) staged reduction using a SILASTIC(R) (Dow Corning, Midland, MI) chimney.

Nonsurgical (Conservative) Treatment of Giant Omphalocele

Clinical Pediatrics, 1987
Between January 1970 and December 1984, 65 patients with a congenital anterior abdominal wall defect were admitted to the Pediatric Surgical Center of the St. Radboud Hospital, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. There were 39 cases of omphalocele. Ten had giant omphalocele, defined as omphalocele that could not be closed primarily.

Left-lung-collapse bronchial deformation in giant omphalocele

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2001
Five infants with giant omphalocele had persistent collapse of the left lung and required prolonged respiratory support. Narrowing of the left main bronchus, reversible with positive end-expiratory pressure, was identified radiographically in 3 infants, and we postulate that this relates to distortion of the bronchus within the constraints of the ...
