An unusual left-sided abdominal-wall defect.
Gastroschisis is a congenital abdominal-wall defect (AWD) that typically occurs to the right of the umbilicus. Rarely, a mirror variation of the above may occur with a defect to the left of the umbilical cord. This report concerns a neonate born with an unusual AWD in the left upper quadrant, distant from an intact umbilicus.
