  • Omphalocele: A birth defect where the infant's intestine or other abdominal organs stick out of the belly button area because of a defect in the abdominal wall.
  • Persistent vitellointestinal duct: Occurs when the vitelline duct, which connects the yolk sac to the midgut in the fetus, does not close and persist after birth.
  • Gastroschisis: A birth defect where the intestines protrude through a hole in the abdominal wall beside the belly button.
• Examine the image associated with the condition, focusing on:
  • An exposed bladder visible outside the body wall.
  • This exposure is a characteristic feature of bladder exstrophy as described above, differentiating it from the other conditions listed.
• Match the findings from the image:
  • The image shows characteristics indicative of bladder exstrophy.

Therefore, the correct identification of the condition is:Bladder exstrophy.
