Left-sided gastroschisis with meromelia of the limbs: a rare association.
Gastroschisis is a malformation of the anterior abdominal wall that presents as herniation of abdominal contents through a paramedian abdominal defect, usually to the right side of the midline. The defect involves all the layers of the abdominal wall and there is no membranous covering. In newborns with isolated gastroschisis, the overall prognosis is very good. In rare cases, gastroschisis is associated with other congenital malformations, making the prognosis worse. We herein report a rare case of left-sided gastroschisis associated with meromelia of the limbs.
