Abstract

This report describes the characteristics and management of segmental dilated small intestine, a rare condition that resembles the liver in an omphalocele. After the dilated intestine was resected and end-to-end anastomosis was performed, the abdomen could be closed simultaneously without immediate complications. Our review of the literature on this condition shows that although its nature is still unknown, it is associated with excellent operative outcomes. Finally, awareness of congenital segmental intestinal dilatation in omphalocele leads to proper management.
