Congenital epigastric evisceration: a case report.
A rare case of abdominal wall defect at the epigastric midline is presented. This newborn boy had only the greater omentum eviscerated, and no other abnormalities could be detected. This case does not seem to relate to the abdominal wall defects reported so far in the literature. This singular case contributes to enlarge the spectrum of congenital defects of the abdominal wall.
