“…Although there is equal frequency between the sexes, symptomatic form is more common in males. [5][6][7] The clinical presentation is variable with very few reported cases of this entity presented at birth and most of the clinical presentations were beyond the first day of life or after neonatal period. [1,7,8] It may later present with sudden evisceration of intestine (prolapse) from umbilicus while the baby is crying and if the condition not managed promptly by surgical intervention, may lead to intestinal obstruction, strangulation and gangrene of the prolapsed intestine.…”

“…[1,7,8] It may later present with sudden evisceration of intestine (prolapse) from umbilicus while the baby is crying and if the condition not managed promptly by surgical intervention, may lead to intestinal obstruction, strangulation and gangrene of the prolapsed intestine. [3,5] To the best of our knowledge, there are only a few case reports of prolapsing PVID in preterm newborns presenting at birth. [7,9] The outcome is highly dependent on the time of presentation, early diagnosis, complications (strangulation), and associated anomalies.…”
