Abstract

A full-term female neonate presented post-partum with an antenatally undetected minor omphalocele after an uncomplicated pregnancy (Figure 1). No other congenital abnormalities were identified upon evaluation. Surgery of the 3 x 2,5 x 4 cm omphalocele was performed eight hours post-delivery. Opening the omphalocele sac revealed an additional abnormality, namely a Meckel’s diverticulum (Figure 2).
