A member asked:
Could you tell me the medical term for a baby born with their intestines outside their body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gastroschisis: Gastroschisis is the term for an opening in the abdominal wall that allows the intestines to be outside of the baby's abdomen. Omphalocele is when there is an opening, but the intestines are still enclosed in a type of sack.
