Front
A nurse observed what appeared to be feces being expelled from a baby's umbilicus. How could this happen? If so, what conditions would likely be present?
Back
If the infant had an umbilico-ileal fistula, the abnormal canal connecting the ileum and the umbilicus could permit the passage of the contents of the ileum to the umbilicus. This occurrence would be an important diagnostic clue to the presence of this canal. The fistula results from the persistence of the intraabdominal part of the omphaloenteric duct.
