Question

Which neonatal anomaly is depicted in the image?

• A. Omphalocele
• B. Gastroschisis
• C. Patent vitello intestinal duct
• D. Exstrophy bladder

Hint:

Exstrophy bladder involves the externalization of the bladder. Look for signs like an exposed bladder in the lower abdomen in neonates, which requires immediate surgical management.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To determine the correct neonatal anomaly from the given options, it is important to understand each condition:

• Omphalocele: This condition is characterized by an abdominal wall defect through which the intestines and sometimes other organs protrude into a sac covered by a membrane.
• Gastroschisis: This involves an abdominal wall defect near the umbilicus, through which the intestines protrude without a protective sac.
• Patent vitello intestinal duct: A rare condition where the vitelline duct fails to close, potentially leading to various complications such as a fistula.
• Exstrophy bladder: This anomaly involves the improper closure of the abdominal wall, leading to the exposure of the bladder and, sometimes, the urethra, without any protective coverage.

The image referenced is not visible here, but based on the provided correct answer choice, we interpret the neonatal anomaly depicted as Exstrophy bladder. This condition is characterized by the bladder being outside the abdominal cavity, exposed and visible, typically without any covering sac or protective layer.
