Abstract

Is gastrochisis embryologically distinct from omphalocele or simply a ruptured small omphalocele (hernia of the unbilical cord)? Serial sonographic imaging of a fetus with a small omphalocele at 27 weeks gestation has now provided the "missing link" in the pathogenesis of gastroschisis by documenting in utero rupture resulting in a gastroschisis.
