Abstract
Gastroschisis represents a herniation of abdominal contents through a paramedian full-thickness abdominal fusion defect. The abdominal herniation is usually to the right of the umbilical cord. Very few cases of left sided Gastrochisis have been reported, Here we report a case of left sided Gastrochisis along with multiple defects seen as spinal deformity,left upper limb abnormality with lower limb deformity (congenital talipes equino varus).Antenatal ultrasound will identify the majority of abdominal wall defects accurately. Hence Antenatal Ultrasound and screening for maternal AFP are important for follow up and management.
