Omphalocele can be diagnosed prenatally, typically during routine antenatal ultrasound screenings. Additionally, elevated levels in certain blood tests may indicate the possibility of omphalocele. Given the potential for associated anomalies in infants diagnosed with omphalocele, additional examinations, such as cardiological evaluations, may be necessary. It is crucial to differentiate omphalocele from other abdominal wall defects like gastroschisis. Accurate determination of the type and degree of the defect is vital for proper treatment planning. For infants diagnosed with omphalocele prenatally, delivery at hospitals offering pediatric surgical services is recommended.
