Gastroschisis - what does this mean
Gastroschisis is a birth defect in which the baby's intestines extend outside of the body through a hole in the abdominal wall. it occurs when the abdominal wall does not close correctly during the early stages of fetal development.
What happens during the disease - gastroschisis
Gastroschisis is a congenital defect that occurs when the abdominal wall does not form properly during fetal development. it is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors that affect the development of the abdominal wall. it is thought that the lack of development of the abdominal wall in the fetus results in the intestines and other abdominal organs being exposed to the amniotic fluid and outside environment, leading to an increased risk of infection and other complications.
