Summary
The OEIS complex, a group of fetal malformations, was found in a fetus alongside a cardiac defect. This rare combination of omphalocele, exstrophy of the cloaca, imperforate anus, and spinal defects with heart issues is infrequently documented.
Area of Science:
- Medical Genetics
- Developmental Biology
- Fetal Medicine
Background:
- The OEIS complex is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by omphalocele, exstrophy of the cloaca, imperforate anus, and spinal defects.
- While the individual components of the OEIS complex are well-documented, its co-occurrence with cardiac defects is exceptionally uncommon.
