| description | Failure of the abdominal wall to close and the persistence of the herniated bowel beyond week 12 gestation is known as an omphalocele. This condition occurs in 1 in 4000 live births and can be associated with several chromosomal anomalies and anatomical malformations. Meckel's diverticulum can be found within an omphalocele in up to 28% of cases, however the presence of a perforated Meckel's diverticulum adherent within an omphalocele has seldom been reported. Herein we present a case of a newborn male transferred to our institution with a perforated Meckel's diverticulum adherent within an omphalocele. |
