Background: Vitelline duct or omphalomesenteric duct disorders occur because of persistence of the vitelline duct, which normally obliterates between the fifth and ninth weeks of intrauterine life. They occur in about two percent of the population and may remain asymptomatic throughout the entire life span; however, they can present sometimes with intra-abdominal complications or surgical conditions at the umbilical region. The omphalomesenteric duct connects the yolk sac to the midgut and usually obliterates at birth; however, its failure to obliterate may result to any of the following abdominal and umbilical surgical conditions such as Meckel’s diverticulum, patent vitelline duct, fibrous band, sinus tract, umbilical mass, enteric fistula with ileal intussusception prolapsing over the umbilicus.
Method: Presentation of a case report of persistent vitello- intestinal duct.
