Explanation:
1. If the abdominal contents are covered by a sac, it is omphalocele. However, if the abdominal contents are not covered by a sac, it could be either omphalocele or gastroschisis. The better way to differentiate between omphalocele and gastroschisis is that the abdominal contents protrude into the base of the umbilical cord in omphalocele but protrude to the right of the umbilical cord in gastroschisis.
2. If the abdominal contents are covered by a sac, it is omphalocele. However, if the abdominal contents are not covered by a sac, it could be either omphalocele or gastroschisis. The better way to differentiate between omphalocele and gastroschisis is that the abdominal contents protrude into the base of the umbilical cord in omphalocele but protrude to the right of the umbilical cord in gastroschisis.
