Abstract

Omphalocele or exomphalos are defined as a congenital defect of the abdominal wall, which consists of the herniation of the abdominal viscera through the umbilical ring. This entity is rarely associated with the communication of Meckel’s diverticulum with the omphalocele sac. Considering the low prevalence of this entity, we report the case of a newborn with a diagnosis of minor omphalocele, in whom rupture of the sac was suspected; however, intraoperatively it was found that the apparent rupture of the sac corresponded to a communication with a Meckel's diverticulum. The case was also associated with echocardiographic findings of tetralogy of Fallot.
