Abstract
Body wall defects (BWDs) are not well studied and categorized in veterinary medicine. BWDs can be an isolated occurrence, but often occur with other major developmental abnormalities. Thirty-two body wall malformations of domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) are presented and classified, distinguishing between body wall dysplasia (umbilical hernia, abdominal wall distension and gastroschisis), omphalocoele and thoracoabdominoschisis (Cantrell syndrome, shistosomus reflexus, body stalk anomalies).
