ABSTRACT
Omphalocele is a malformation of the abdominal wall varying in size and located at the base of the umbilical cord. Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital malformation of the gastrointestinal tract with an increased prevalence in newborns with congenital malformations of the umbilicus and gastrointestinal tract. The association between Meckel’s diverticulum and omphalocele has been described in rare cases. We present the case of a newborn diagnosed with both entities.
