Two cases of left-sided gastroschisis: review of the literature

H Yoshioka et al. Pediatr Surg Int. 2004 Jun.

Abstract

In gastroschisis, the opening is almost always to the right of the umbilicus, although eight cases of left-sided gastroschisis have been reported in the literature. We encountered two additional cases of left-sided gastroschisis. One was treated successfully, but the another child died. We report the present two these two cases and a review of the literature.
