Which of the following is NOT true regarding gastroschisis and omphalocele?
Correct Answer: Gastroschisis is associated with multiple anomalies
Description: Gastroschisis is a congenital anomaly characterized by a defect in the anterior abdominal wall through which the intestinal contents freely protrude. Unlike in infants born with omphalocele, in infants with gastroschisis the associated anomalies consist mostly of intestinal atresia.
