Definition
Gastroschisis is a congenital abnormality of the abdominal wall, in which the infant?s intestine usually herniate into the right of the umbilical cord. As a consequence, the unprotected intestine becomes irritated causing it to swell. The incidence of this abnormality is about 4-5:10.000 live births and it is diagnosed often prenatally by routine ultrasound in the second trimester. Gastroschisis is different from exomphalos because never has a sac.
