The peritoneal sac may contain the small and large intestine, stomach, liver, spleen, and bladder. The peritoneal sac covering the defect may rupture during or after birth. Omphalocele develops during the tenth to twelfth weeks of gestation and is often seen in conjunction with other cardiac, genitourinary, neurologic anomalies, and about 50% of the time with chromosomal anomalies.
