Abstract

This is a 1.5 Kg female baby delivered in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Severance Hospital with normal spontaneous vaginal delivery at 32 weeks gestation period. In delivery room they noticed eviceration of the entire liver, small intestine and stomach through an abdominal wall defect above umbilicus without a covering membrane. Umbilicus was normally inserted at the inferior margin of the abdominal wall defect. This anomaly was diagnosed as Gastroschisis after reviewing the literature. This is the first case report of Gastroschisis in Korea.
