Persistent Ompahalomesenteric Duct in a Newborn With 16p11.2 Deletion: Report of New Findings. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Omphalomesenteric duct (OMD) is an embryologic communication between the extraembryonic yolk sac and the primitive midgut. The OMD malformations are relatively rare diseases associated with developmental defects related to the closure of the omphalomesenteric duct. These malformations can present in various forms, including cysts, fistulas, or

Ultrasonographic diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment of a patent urachus associated with a patent omphalomesenteric duct in a newborn: A case report. [PDF]
Rational: Patent urachus (PU) is due to an incomplete obliteration of the urachus, whereas patent omphalomesenteric duct (POMD) is due to an incomplete obliteration of the vitelline duct. These anomalies are very rarely associated with one another.

Omphalomesenteric Fistula Presenting with Meconium Discharge from the Umbilicus
The omphalomesenteric duct is an embryologic connection between the midgut and yolk sac, which typically disappears at 5th to 7th week of gestation. Failure of the obliteration process can lead to omphalomesenteric duct remnants.
