Abstract
A retrospective study was undertaken to determine if there exists an association between cryptorchidism and the intra-abdominal wall defects of gastroschisis and omphalocele. The records of 25 newborn male infants (l3 with omphalocele, 12 with gastroschisis) were examined. In this sample there was no statistically significant association between these defects and cryptorchidism in either the premature or the full-term infants, when compared with a healthy population. Further clinical studies with larger numbers of patients are recommended.
