How is the midgut development?
6th week- midgut herniates through umbilical ring
10th week- returns to abdominal cavity + rotates around SMA
During the midgut development, when does midgut herniates through umbilical ring?
During 6th week
During Midgut development, when does it returns to abdominal cavity + rotates around SMA?
By the 10th week
Possible pathologies during GI development
Malrotation of midgut
Intestinal atresia or Stenosis
Volvulus
What is Gastroschisis?
Extrusion of abdominal contents through abdominal folds; not covered by peritoneum
What is Omphalocele?
Persistence of herniation of abdominal contents of abdominal contents into umbilical cord, sealed by peritoneum
