A Rare Case of Left-Sided Gastroschisis in a Human Museum Specimen.

Gastroschisis is a congenital defect in the anterior abdominal wall resulting in herniation of the abdominal viscera without any fetal membrane covering it. It usually occurs to the right of a normally inserted umbilical cord. The anomaly is associated with intrauterine growth retardation, stillbirth, and preterm delivery.
