Abstract
Omphalocele (exomphalos) represents one of the most frequent congenital abdominal wall defects. It presents as a defect of inconstant size and is located on the midline, at the base of the umbilical cord, the skin, fascia, and abdominal muscles being absent at this level. Omphaloceles are classified as liver-containing or non-liver-containing, the latter containing primarily bowel loops. We present the case of a 37-year-old pregnant woman with an early diagnosis of liver-containing omphalocele associating ductus venosus reversed flow, with the aim to highlight the importance of the first-trimester morphology scan and to develop a pilot study regarding the neurological development of infants after surgical repair of giant omphaloceles. The particularity of this case consists of a fetus with a positive diagnosis of a giant liver-containing omphalocele but with a small abdominal wall defect during the first-trimester morphology scan at 13 weeks and 3 days of gestation which associated ductus venosus reversed flow, presenting a normal karyotype postabortum. With a small defect, we can speculate the risk of strangling besides the mechanical traction exercised on the ductus venosus generating fetal distress, specifically fetal hypoxia at an early gestational age. In conclusion, the main issue, in this case, was if the fetal omphalocele and ductus venosus reversed flow indicated fetal hypoxia, what was the obstruction effect on the oxygenated blood pathway caused by the abdominal defect, and which were the long-term effects on infants with this complex pathology with an unknown outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most cases of Beckwith-Wiedemann spectrum (BWSp) are diagnosed after birth and few studies evaluated the prenatal phenotype; here, we investigate these aspects in a large series of patients with BWSp. METHODS Eighty-nine patients with BWSp recruited through the BWSp Internal Registry of the Pediatric Genetics Unit of the Regina Margherita Children's Hospital of Torino and through the Italian Association of Patients with BWSp. Data collection was conducted through administration of a personalised questionnaire, interview to patients' parents, review of the clinical records, including prenatal ultrasound (US) and biochemical screening tests, physical examination and review of clinical and molecular data of the patients. RESULTS Seventeen patients (19.1%) were conceived through assisted reproductive techniques (ART). Twinning occurred in nine pregnancies (three from ART). Pregnancy biochemical screening tests showed increased alpha-fetoprotein (1.52±0.79 multiples of median (MoM), p=0.001), uEstriol (1.37±0.38 MoM, p<0.001) and total human chorionic gonadotrophin (2.14±2.12 MoM, p=0.008) at 15-18 weeks (n=28). Morphology US scan revealed abdominal and head circumferences higher than normal (1.42±1.10 SD scores, p<0.001 and 0.54±0.88, p<0.001, respectively) with normal femur lengths. Sixty-four cases (71.9%%) had a various combination of US findings, including macrosomia (n=32), omphalocele (n=15), enlargement of abdominal organs (n=6), macroglossia (n=11), adrenal cysts/masses (n=2), nephroureteral anomalies (n=11), polyhydramnios (n=28), placental enlargement (n=2) or mesenchymal dysplasia (n=4). CONCLUSION We propose a clinical scoring system for prenatal molecular investigations defining major, minor and supportive criteria among the several features often observed prenatally in BWSp.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Omphalocele is the second most common abdominal birth defect and often occurs with other structural and genetic defects. The objective of this study was to determine omphalocele prevalence, time trends, and mortality during early childhood, by geographical region, and the presence of associated anomalies. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study with 23 birth defect surveillance systems in 18 countries who are members of the International Clearinghouse for Birth Defects Surveillance and Research that submitted data on cases ascertained from 2000 through 2012, approximately 16 million pregnancies were surveyed that resulted in live births, stillbirths, or elective terminations of pregnancy for fetal anomalies (ETOPFA) and cases with omphalocele were included. Overall prevalence and mortality rates for specific ages were calculated (day of birth, neonatal, infant, and early childhood). We used Kaplan-Meier estimates with 95% confidence intervals (CI) to calculate cumulative mortality and joinpoint regression for time trend analyses. RESULTS The prevalence of omphalocele was 2.6 per 10,000 births (95% CI: 2.5, 2.7) and showed no temporal change from 2000-2012 (average annual percent change = -0.19%, p = .52). The overall mortality rate was 32.1% (95% CI: 30.2, 34.0). Most deaths occurred during the neonatal period and among children with multiple anomalies or syndromic omphalocele. Prevalence and mortality varied by registry type (e.g., hospital- vs. population-based) and inclusion or exclusion of ETOPFA. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of omphalocele showed no temporal change from 2000-2012. Approximately one-third of children with omphalocele did not survive early childhood with most deaths occurring in the neonatal period.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize factors associated with adverse neonatal outcomes in prenatally diagnosed omphalocele cases. STUDY DESIGN Prenatally diagnosed omphalocele cases at a single referral center from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical variables and antenatal imaging measurements were collected. Associations between prenatal and neonatal characteristics and the adverse outcome of death or prolonged length of stay (LOS) were analyzed. RESULTS Out of 63 fetal cases, 33 were live-born, > 50% had other anomalies, and neonatal mortality was 12%. Adverse outcomes were associated with neonatal variables, including lower median 1-min Apgar score, initial mechanical ventilation, and late-onset sepsis, but not approach to omphalocele closure. With multivariate analysis, death or prolonged LOS was associated only with low lung volumes by fetal MRI (OR 34 (3-422), p = 0.006). CONCLUSION Low lung volumes by fetal MRI were associated with death or prolonged LOS in neonates with prenatally diagnosed omphalocele and may guide clinicians with counseling families.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this study, we aimed to comprehensively evaluate risk factors, ultrasound estimation of fetal weight, prenatal management, and pregnancy outcomes of gastroschisis and omphalocele at a metropolitan Australian hospital. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a retrospective single-center cohort study from 2006 to 2014 at a tertiary hospital with colocated neonatal surgical facilities. Demographic, pregnancy, ultrasound, birth and neonatal data were compared between gastroschisis and omphalocele. Correlation between routine (Hadlock 1 &2) and specific (Siemer) estimated fetal weight (EFW) estimation formulae with birth weight (BW) was made for those 50 gastroschisis cases with ≥2 third trimester scans and last scan ≤2 weeks prior to birth. RESULTS There were 126 abdominal wall defects: 83 gastroschisis and 43 omphalocele. Consistent with international literature, the average maternal age was lower for gastroschisis and rates of smoking higher, while there were more intrauterine deaths and pregnancy terminations in omphalocele. Gastroschisis mothers were more likely living outside Sydney, had more infections in pregnancy and were followed with a larger number of antenatal visits, with a shorter period from the last visit to birth. In omphalocele pregnancies, amniocentesis was more likely performed, with more abnormal results than in gastroschisis fetuses. All EFW formulae had a good correlation between Z score for the last US and actual BW (ICC 0.693-0.815), with Hadlock 2 being the best. Siemer formula had the best correlation from first to the last scan. Gastroschisis newborns were born earlier (36.8 versus 38.2 wks p = .001), with smaller birthweight (2.52 versus 3.03 kg, p < .001), a longer request of intensive care (central line, parenteral nutrition, intubation) and second surgery, along with more multisystem complications (average 1.5 versus 0.7, p = .004) and a longer hospital stay (58.8 versus 36.8 d, p < .001). CONCLUSION Demographic, antenatal, and pregnancy outcome data for abdominal wall defects correlated well with the international literature. Hadlock 1-2 gave the most consistent EFW estimate, with all formulae showing good correlation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Associated anomalies in omphalocele are common, but to which extent these anomalies are diagnosed before or after birth is less well documented. AIM To investigate the different types of associated anomalies, long-term survival and the extent whether these are diagnosed pre- or postnatally in children with a prenatal diagnosis of omphalocele at a single institution. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective review of all pregnancies with omphalocele managed and/or born at our institution between 2006 and 2016. RESULTS A total of 42 cases with prenatally diagnosed omphalocele were identified. Of those 14 (31%) decided to terminate the pregnancy (TOP). Of the remaining 28 that continued, 12 were giant omphaloceles. The overall mortality rate was 18, 25% for giant and 12% for non-giant omphaloceles. 64% had associated anomalies. Only 1/3 of these anomalies is diagnosed prenatally. CONCLUSION The rate of associated malformations that are diagnosed postnatally is high, but the majority was malformations with a minor clinical significance or impact on future health. Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome was present only in cases of non-giant omphalocele in our cohort.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate treatment and surgical outcomes of patients of Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) treated at a tertiary children's hospital. METHODS A retrospective review of infants evaluated at Texas Children's Hospital for BWS from August 2000 to December 2016 was performed. Data collected included demographic information, clinical presentation, genetic evaluation, fetal imaging, operative treatment, and outcomes. RESULTS Forty-seven children with a diagnosis of BWS were identified. Sixty-four percent (n=30) had a genetic mutation in an imprinting domain of chromosome 11p15. Thirty-two patients (68%) underwent at least one operation related to BWS with a median of 2 [range: 0-8] surgical procedures per patient. Sixteen underwent omphalocele repair, 12 had partial glossectomies-, 7 underwent surgeries related to hemihypertrophy, and 6 had resection of an embryonal tumor (two adrenal cortical adenoma, one Wilms' tumor, two hepatoblastoma). Overall, survival was 100% with feeding difficulty (47%) being the most frequent complication. CONCLUSION A substantial number of patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome will require surgery. However, overall outcomes are similar between those that require surgery and those that do not. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS), a human genomic imprinting disorder, is characterized by phenotypic variability that might include overgrowth, macroglossia, abdominal wall defects, neonatal hypoglycaemia, lateralized overgrowth and predisposition to embryonal tumours. Delineation of the molecular defects within the imprinted 11p15.5 region can predict familial recurrence risks and the risk (and type) of embryonal tumour. Despite recent advances in knowledge, there is marked heterogeneity in clinical diagnostic criteria and care. As detailed in this Consensus Statement, an international consensus group agreed upon 72 recommendations for the clinical and molecular diagnosis and management of BWS, including comprehensive protocols for the molecular investigation, care and treatment of patients from the prenatal period to adulthood. The consensus recommendations apply to patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann spectrum (BWSp), covering classical BWS without a molecular diagnosis and BWS-related phenotypes with an 11p15.5 molecular anomaly. Although the consensus group recommends a tumour surveillance programme targeted by molecular subgroups, surveillance might differ according to the local health-care system (for example, in the United States), and the results of targeted and universal surveillance should be evaluated prospectively. International collaboration, including a prospective audit of the results of implementing these consensus recommendations, is required to expand the evidence base for the design of optimum care pathways.

Abstract
The management of giant omphaloceles at our department is primarily conservative. However, management can be challenging if the omphalocele is ruptured or the sac has to be removed. We report a case in which a giant omphalocele in a newborn female patient was managed by covering the abdominal defect with non-cross-linked intact porcine-derived acellular dermal matrix (Strattice reconstructive tissue matrix, LifeCell Corp., Branchburg, New Jersey, United States) sutured to the fascia combined with vacuum therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to examine the prenatal anomalies in fetuses with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS). METHODS The study included a retrospective assessment of 12 pregnancies that were seen at three tertiary referral centres (Universities of Tübingen, Bonn, and Cologne/Germany). The genetic mutation, the results of the second trimester ultrasound examination, and the outcome of the pregnancies are shown. Biometric data were transformed into z-values. RESULTS Median gestational age at the time of examination was 22.6 (range 19.0-29.7) weeks of gestation. In all cases, the head circumference (HC) and the femur length (FL) were within the normal range, but the HC-FL ratio was above the 95th centile in 75% of the cases. An exomphalos, macroglossia, and visceromegaly were observed in 67%, 50%, and 83% of the cases, and in 58% and 83%, there were polyhydramnios and placentamegaly respectively. The fetal pancreas was identified in three quarters of the cases. A third of the women had large, overstimulation-like ovaries, although each pregnancy was conceived naturally. In four cases, beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels were measured and mean hCG levels were 498 106 IU/L. DISCUSSION Besides exomphalos, BWS should be considered if there is macroglossia, a distinct growth pattern, pancreatic hyperplasia, placentamegaly, and substantially increased levels of beta-hCG. © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review prognostic parameters reported recently in the evaluation of abdominal wall defects in the first trimester. RECENT FINDINGS Evaluation of abdominal wall defects in the first trimester is based principally on associated structural or chromosomal anomalies. In the case of gastroschisis, which is rarely associated with other anomalies, evaluation of prenatal or postnatal outcome is based mainly on the course of pregnancy. In the case of isolated omphalocele in the first trimester, recent studies have evaluated parameters that could help predict prenatal or postnatal outcome. SUMMARY We review recent studies using new parameters to diagnose abdominal wall defects in the first trimester and to provide early prenatal counselling to parents regarding prenatal and postnatal prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the risk of stillbirth among pregnancies complicated by a major isolated congenital anomaly detected by antenatal ultrasonography and the influence of incidental growth restriction. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of all consecutive singleton pregnancies undergoing routine anatomic survey between 1990 and 2009 was performed. Stillbirth rates among fetuses with an ultrasound-detected isolated major congenital anomaly were compared with fetuses without major anomalies. Stillbirth rates were calculated per 1,000 ongoing pregnancies. Exclusion criteria included delivery before 24 weeks of gestation, multiple fetal anomalies, minor anomalies, and chromosomal abnormalities. Analyses were stratified by gestational age at delivery (before 32 weeks compared with 32 weeks of gestation or after) and birth weight less than the 10th percentile. We adjusted for confounders using logistic regression. RESULTS Among 65,308 singleton pregnancies delivered at 24 weeks of gestation or after, 873 pregnancies with an isolated major congenital anomaly (1.3%) were identified. The overall stillbirth rate among fetuses with a major anomaly was 55 per 1,000 compared with 4 per 1,000 in nonanomalous fetuses (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 15.17, 95% confidence interval [CI] 11.03-20.86). Stillbirth risk in anomalous fetuses was similar before 32 weeks of gestation (26/1,000) and 32 weeks of gestation or after (31/1,000). Among growth-restricted fetuses, the stillbirth rate increased among anomalous (127/1,000) and nonanomalous fetuses (18/1,000), and congenital anomalies remained associated with higher rates of stillbirth (adjusted OR 8.20, 95% CI 5.27-12.74). CONCLUSION The stillbirth rate is increased in anomalous fetuses regardless of incidental growth restriction. These risks can assist practitioners in designing care plans for anomalous fetuses who have elevated and competing risks of stillbirth and neonatal death. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II.

Abstract
The most common fetal abdominal wall defects are gastroschisis and omphalocele, both with a prevalence of about three in 10,000 births. Prenatal ultrasound has a high sensitivity for these abnormalities already at the time of the first-trimester nuchal scan. Major unrelated defects are associated with gastroschisis in about 10% of cases, whereas omphalocele is associated with chromosomal or genetic abnormalities in a much higher proportion of cases. Challenges in management of gastroschisis are related to the prevention of late intrauterine death, and the prediction and treatment of complex forms. With omphalocele, the main difficulty is the exclusion of associated conditions, not all diagnosed prenatally. An outline of the postnatal treatment of abdominal wall defects is given. Other rarer forms of abdominal wall defects are pentalogy of Cantrell, omphalocele, bladder exstrophy, imperforate anus, spina bifida complex, prune-belly syndrome, body stalk anomaly, and bladder and cloacal exstrophy; they deserve multidisciplinary counselling and management.

Abstract
We report the case of an infant who underwent surgery on the first day of life for a giant omphalocele. At the age of 16 months, he presented an acute abdominal syndrome and died a few hours later. Autopsy revealed a twisted left liver lobe (LL) including a suprahepatic vein. To our knowledge, this is the first case of giant omphalocele complicated by twisted liver lobe and fatal outcome.
