Delayed umbilical cord separation occurred in a newborn. Imaging revealed the umbilical cord stump connected to the bowel, containing the appendix, suggesting a rare congenital anomaly.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal surgery
  • Pediatric gastroenterology
  • Congenital anomalies

Background:

  • Delayed separation of the umbilical cord is a rare neonatal condition.
  • Umbilical cord anomalies can present with various complications.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for favorable outcomes.

Observation:

  • A case of delayed umbilical cord separation was observed.
  • Ultrasonography and radiographic examinations were performed on the umbilical cord stump.
  • The examinations revealed a connection between the umbilical cord stump and the bowel.

Findings:

  • Surgical exploration confirmed the umbilical cord contained the appendix.
  • The anomaly is hypothesized to be a small omphalocele.
  • This may result from incomplete gut withdrawal from the umbilical cord.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare presentation of omphalocele.
  • Understanding such anomalies is vital for surgical planning.
  • It underscores the importance of thorough diagnostic evaluation for neonatal abdominal wall defects.
