Omphalomesenteric duct malformations present diverse structures and symptoms, from patent ducts to Meckel's diverticulum. Early recognition of these varied presentations is crucial for effective patient management.

Area of Science:

Embryology and Developmental Biology
Pediatric Surgery
Gastroenterology

Background:

Omphalomesenteric duct malformations encompass a broad range of congenital anomalies.
These can manifest as patent ducts, cysts, fibrous cords, or Meckel's diverticulum.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the diverse spectrum of omphalomesenteric duct malformations.
To emphasize the varied clinical presentations and management implications.

Main Methods:

Review of existing literature on omphalomesenteric duct anomalies.
Analysis of anatomical variations and associated symptomatology.

Main Results:

Malformations range from complete patency to Meckel's diverticulum, with varying symptoms.

Symptoms include fecal fistulas, obstruction, intussusception, and bleeding, often in early childhood but also in adults.

Males exhibit a higher incidence of symptoms despite equal prevalence.

Conclusions:

Awareness of the diverse types and symptoms of omphalomesenteric duct malformations is essential.
Optimal management requires understanding the wide spectrum of presentations and potential complications.
