What is another word for exomphalos?
Pronunciation: [ɛɡzˈɒmfəlˌə͡ʊz] (IPA) 
Exomphalos, also known as omphalocele, is a medical condition where a baby is born with their internal organs outside their abdomen. This rare condition occurs when the muscles near the baby's belly button do not close properly during fetal development. There are several medical terms synonymous with exomphalos, including abdominal wall defects, ventral hernia, and gastroschisis. Each of these terms describes a different aspect of the condition, but they all refer to the same underlying problem. Treatment for exomphalos typically involves surgery to repair the abdominal wall and return the organs to their proper place inside the body.
