Surgical Management of Omphalocele With Concurrent Ileal Atresia: A Case Report

Omphalocele, a congenital anomaly characterized by the protrusion of abdominal viscera through the umbilical ring, often presents challenges in surgical management, especially when concurrent with other anomalies such as intestinal atresia. We presented a case of a female infant weighing 2.6 kg born with omphalocele and concurrent ileal atresia. The child was successfully managed through prompt surgical intervention. Preoperative investigations revealed signs suggestive of intestinal obstruction, necessitating immediate surgical exploration. Intraoperatively, meticulous reduction of the omphalocele sac and resection of the atretic segment were performed. Postoperative care in the neonatal intensive care unit ensured optimal recovery. This case underscored the importance of timely intervention and multidisciplinary collaboration in managing complex congenital anomalies in neonates.
