Omphalocele is a congenital protrusion or herniation of the intestines through a large defect in the anterior abdominal wall at the umbilicus.This anomaly is believed to result from failure of the intestines to return from the umbilical cord during the tenth week.The hernial mass is covered by a thin,transparent membrane composed of peritoneum internally and amnion externally (from the amniotic covering of the umbilical cord).
