Extremely Rare Co-occurrence of Left Gastroschisis-Like Abdominal Wall Defect and an Omphalocele in a Very Low Birth Weight Infant: A Case Report
The abdominal wall defect might have differed from other cases of left-sided gastroschisis in terms of its pathogenesis in the upper left abdomen. The presence of lower left hypoplastic thorax strongly suggested that dysfunction of the left superior epigastric artery had caused the abdominal wall defect. There is no standard treatment for this extremely rare, congenital malformation. Thus, its treatment requires the application of several techniques, each to address different aspects of the condition at the corresponding, surgical stage.
