摘要

<strong>Background:</strong><span style="font-family:;" "=""><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> 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. </span><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Aim:</span></b><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> The purpose of this case report is to present a case of ruptured omphalocele operated successfully and describe the factors of good prognosis. </span><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Case Presentation:</span></b><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> 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. </span><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Conclusion:</span></b><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> 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.</span></span>
