A neonate with umbilical evagination of the bladder (UEB) and omphalocele minor (OM) is reported. The findings in this case support the origin of the urachus from the upper end of the cloaca rather than the allantois. The frequent occurrence of OM with urachal anomalies, including UEB, suggests an embryological association between the two conditions.

Background: A few cases of small omphalocele with umbilical evagination of the bladder have been reported. However, its embryology is yet to be elucidated. Only a few reports have indicated the existence of urachal anomalies and umbilical cysts related to bladder evagination.

Vitellointestinal duct (VID) anomalies have been described extensively in the literature. However, an everted VID with prolapse of ileum arising from an omphalocele is rare, and its appearance at birth can be alarming and can present a diagnostic challenge. We describe a baby born to a teenage diabetic mother who was noted to have a strange exophytic mass arising from the abdominal wall.

Unlabelled: Soft tissue mobilization of pelvic musculature in bladder exstrophy repair and its effect on continence. A single-center experience of 38 exstrophy repairs in children.
Introduction/background: Bladder exstrophy is characterized by infra-umbilical abdominal wall defects, evaginated bladder plate of varying size, epispadias, abnormality of genitalia and bony pelvis.

Background: It is quite unusual for a fistula to communicate directly with the surface of the hernia sac, and associated prolapse of the ileum through a patent omphalomesenteric duct is also extremely rare.
Objectives: We report a unique case of a fetus exposed to methimazole in utero, with a hernia of the umbilical cord and associated ileal prolapse through a patent omphalomesenteric duct.
Methods And Results: In this case, the umbilical cord was attached to a small unruptured omphalocele, to the right of which a small everted loop of the ileum had evaginated.
