[Prenatal differential diagnosis of abdominal and umbilical cord hernias]. 1985

G Bernaschek, and A Schaller

At the beginning a systematic presentation of congenital herniations is provided. Corresponding to it, typical sonographic evidences from the number of patients examined at the clinic are shown and discussed. Consequences from prenatal diagnosis of omphaloceles and paromphaloceles--namely in regard to an indication for abortion--result from the existence of associated malformations on the one hand, for the choice of the mode of delivery, on the other, with regard to a postnatal operative correction.

D006554	Hernia, Umbilical	A HERNIA due to an imperfect closure or weakness of the umbilical ring. It appears as a skin-covered protrusion at the UMBILICUS during crying, coughing, or straining. The hernia generally consists of OMENTUM or SMALL INTESTINE. The vast majority of umbilical hernias are congenital but can be acquired due to severe abdominal distention.
