Question

Which neonatal anomaly is depicted in the image?

• A. Omphalocele
• B. Gastroschisis
• C. Patent vitello intestinal duct
• D. Exstrophy bladder

Hint:

Exstrophy bladder involves the externalization of the bladder. Look for signs like an exposed bladder in the lower abdomen in neonates, which requires immediate surgical management.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The image shows exstrophy bladder, a congenital abnormality where the bladder is everted and exposed on the outside of the body. This condition results from improper closure of the abdominal wall during fetal development. The exposed bladder, along with other associated anomalies such as defects in the pelvic bones, is characteristic of exstrophy bladder.
- Omphalocele is a condition where the abdominal contents herniate into the umbilical cord but are covered by a membrane. This is different from the exposed organs seen in exstrophy bladder. - Gastroschisis involves a defect in the abdominal wall through which the intestines protrude, but it does not involve the urinary system as exstrophy bladder does.
- Patent vitello-intestinal duct presents as a small umbilical mass that may cause discharge or infection but is not associated with the external exposure of the bladder as seen in exstrophy bladder.
Thus, the condition shown in the image is exstrophy bladder, which requires surgical intervention after birth to correct the defect.
