What is Exomphalos? |
|
Text 
|
Exomphalos is a weakness of the baby's abdominal wall where the umbilical cord joins it. This weakness allows the abdominal contents, mainly the bowel and the liver to protrude outside the abdominal cavity where they are contained in a loose sac that surrounds the umbilical cord. Because the contents are lying outside it, the abdominal cavity often does not develop properly and remains small in size. |
