Abstract
-
Omphalocele-exstrophy-imperforate anus-spinal defects(OEIS Syndrome) is a single defect in
early mesoderm, and its incidence is about one in 250,000. If was first described by Littre
in 1709. The characteristics of this disorder is omphalocele, extrpohy of bladder, imperforate
anus and spina bifida. There have been reports of longtime survival made possible by several
operations, but for most cases normal life is impossible due to the deformities. We report a
case of OEIS complex who had omphalocele, exstrophy of bladder, imperforate anus and spina
bifida from birth.
