“…There is evidence that congenital anomalies may be heritable 7,21 . In the retrospective study by Herrmann et al., the incidence of umbilical herniation and omphalocele was 1.8% in 53,105 German Fleckvieh calves passing through auction.…”

“…Embryologic development of the abdominal cavity is complicated. The entire gastrointestinal tract begins during infoldings of endoderm and associated splanchnic mesoderm, creating a patent tubular structure suspended within the coelomic cavity of the early embryo 7,10 . The yolk sac communicates with the gut lumen via the vitelline duct until its obliteration.…”

The somatic mesoderm and overlaying ectoderm go on to form the body wall, meeting on ventral midline about the structures that form the umbilicus.…”

“…Congenital midline anomalies are caused by errors in physiologic umbilical herniation. If the umbilical ring closes before deherniation, fails to close altogether or closes incompletely to allow reherniation, the midgut loop does not remain within the fetus 7 . Depending on the degree of subsequent abdominal wall development, the resultant anomaly may be an omphalocele or an umbilical hernia.…”

In the latter, the defect is completely covered with skin; in the former, a herniated sac of parietal peritoneum protrudes through the body wall.…”

A neonatal Holstein bull calf presented emergently for abdominal evisceration. Calving was unassisted. Ninety minutes postpartum, farm staff noted the defect and brought the patient to the hospital. On presentation, the calf was recumbent, dull, and in hypovolemic shock with uncompensated hyperlactatemic metabolic acidosis. Multiple organs were identified through a 4–5 cm defect in the caudoventral midline. Differentials included a ruptured omphalocele, gastroschisis, trauma and schistosomus reflexus. This presentation was consistent with a ruptured omphalocele. Following triage and haemodynamic stabilisation, the eviscerated abdominal contents were lavaged, surgically replaced and an umbilical resection with partial cystectomy performed to remove a patent urachus. Postoperatively, the patient was hospitalised with aggressive nursing care. Pharmacotherapy included prophylactic antibiotics, gastroprotectants and anti‐inflammatory medication. The calf developed mild postoperative pneumonia, but was discharged after 6 days. This report details management of omphalocele evisceration in a calf and the pathology of congenital midline anomalies in neonatal ruminants.
