Description
Summary:Gastroschisis represents a congenital malformation characterized by the herniation of abdominal contents through a defect in the abdominal wall, predominantly situated to the right of the umbilical cord. The defect is characterized by the absence of a covering membrane, resulting in the free floating of extruded abdominal contents. Major complications associated with this condition include stillbirth, preterm delivery, and intrauterine growth restriction. This report presents a case involving a 24-year-old female who received a prenatal diagnosis of gastroschisis and subsequently opted for termination of pregnancy. This anomaly presents considerable challenges in neonatal management, thereby necessitating timely and effective surgical intervention. Categories: Gynaecology, Radiology, Obstetric, Surgery.
