Omphalocele
Omphalocele
Protrusion of abdominal contents (stomach, intestines) through the umbilicus, covered by a sac. Defect is directly under the umbilical cord. Often associated with other birth anomalies.
Gastroschisis
Gastroschisis
Abdominal contents (stomach, intestines) protrude through an opening in the abdominal wall, not covered by a sac. Defect is typically to the right of the umbilicus. Less likely to have other anomalies.

Study Notes
- Omphalocele and gastroschisis are both birth defects where the abdominal organs protrude outside the body
Omphalocele
- Stomach and/or intestines protrude from the abdomen
- The organs are covered by a sac
- The defect is directly under the umbilical cord
- Often associated with other birth anomalies
Gastroschisis
- The stomach, large intestines, and small intestines develop outside the abdomen
- The organs are not protected by a sac
- The defect is on the right side of the umbilicus
- It is unusual to have other anomalies associated with gastroschisis
