Case Discussion
Omphalocele is a congenital midline defect, which has numerous syndromic and non-syndromic associations. In this case there is concurrent markedly thickened NT, implying the presence of additional abnormalities. Genetic diagnosis is unknown, but an underlying chromosomal abnormality is likely.
