... a birth defect in which an infant's intestines are outside of the body because of a hole in the abdominal wall.

OBS

The condition looks similar to an omphalocele. An omphalocele, however, is a birth defect in which the infant's intestine or other abdominal organs protrude through a hole in the belly button area and are covered with a membrane. With gastroschisis, there is no covering membrane.

OBS

Q79.3: code used in the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems.
