Abstract

Newborn presenting with ruptured omphalocele is an emergency which threatens the life of baby. We are reporting a case of a male newborn baby, born in hospital and had ruptured omphalocele sac during vaginal delivery. After reduction of herniated bowel excess omphalocele sac was excised and remaining sac was closed using absorbable suture material. Patient was kept NBM for 4 days and gradually started on feeds. On further evaluation patient was found to have Beck with –Widemann syndrome. Patient’s karyotype was normal. Patient kept on regular follow-up with serial USG-KUB after discharge. To our knowledge, there are only few reported cases of bed-side repair of ruptured omphalocele sac. This case is presented for its simple and effective bedside management.
