Bowel duplication and
Omphalocele and Gastroschisis
Bowel duplication
two well-formed lumens instead of one
surgically corrected early in life
well-formed saccular or
tubular cystic structure
can dilate and
form a sac like lumen
grossly noticed
May or may not communicate
with the lumen
totally separated
directly related
and even have
communication
with GIT
Omphalocele
and Gastroschisis
manifest
themselves secondary to
failure of forming
abdominal musculature
leading to herniation of
abdominal contents (Loops of bowel ) into
ventral membranous sac
in case of omphalocele
without a sac in
case of gastroschisis.
Omphalocele,
may contain
liver
sac like protrusion of
abdominal small or large bowel
contents
secondary to the musculature that are going to be failing to form as they should
be
Gastroschisis
A portion
of abdominal wall fail to form
extrusion of intestine
contents are not going to herniate in a sac
directly exposed to the
environment
corrected
surgically as soon as possible during the
neonatal life
