Gastroschisis

Gastroschisis is a congenital abdominal wall hypoplasia with a full-thickness abdominal wall defect next to the umbilicus and a prolapse from the viscera. It is a rare deformity of abdominal wall development defects. In the past, some scholars have classified this disease with umbilical bulge and intrauterine rupture. In 1953, Moore et al. Proposed a different name for abdominal fissure based on the pathological characteristics of spleen and umbilical rupture. The incidence varies greatly from house to house, but more than half are low birth weight infants.
