Summary:The omphalocele is an average coelosomie, frequency of which is estimated at 1/5000 births. We confront diagnosis antenatal with the exam foetopathologic in purpose of 41 cases of omphalocele brought together over a period going from January 1, 1991 till December, 2000 in the unity of foetopathologie from the CMNT. The frequency of omphaloceles is 4.88% of the children malformed and of 1.64% of the set (group) of the performed an autopsy children. An association malformative was found in 85.4% of cases and a karyotype typical aberration trisomie 13.18 and 21 was identified in 17% of cases. The preview of the children bearers of this deformation is especially bound (connected) to the existence and to the gravity of associated abnormalities. The omphalocele required a multidisciplinary making coverage intervernir obstetriciens, néonatologistes, surgeons pediatre and foetopathologistes.
