Abstract
Persistance of the omphalomesenteric duct may lead to several anomalies including umblical sinus, umblical cyst, MeckeVs diverticulum or patent omphalomesenteric duct fistula. Clinical manifestations of umblical disorders are usually nonspecific; use of cross-sectional imaging can help identify most of these entities because of their typical locations and distributions in continuity with the other organs and guide therapy. A case of omphalomesenteric duct cyst are presented and analysed together with previously reported cases in the literature. The embriology of the omphalomesenteric duct reviewed. Understanding the embriology and anatomy and the differential diagnosis of umblical disorders is key to arriving at a correct diagnosis and proper patient treatment.
