ABSTRACT: Background: The omphalocele
is a congenital defect of closure of the abdominal wall at the level of the umbilical
ring with evisceration of the intra-abdominal organs in the form of a bag covered
with a membrane. This membrane can rupture and become an extreme emergency that
can put the infant’s life at stake. Aim: The purpose of this case report
is to present a case of ruptured omphalocele operated successfully and describe
the factors of good prognosis. Case Presentation: A female new-born with
a giant omphalocele. This omphalocele ruptured during conservative treatment. An
emergency surgery was organised and the defect was closed by using a prosthesis.
The postoperative course was simple. During the 12 months follow-up, we have seen
no complication. Conclusion: The management of ruptured omphaloceles is a
surgical and anesthetic challenge. The mortality of this condition can be improved
in our context by setting up well-equipped neonatal resuscitation units.
