As moms came in and out of the waiting room, elated by the first grainy images of their growing babies, Davis was anxious as she waited for the results. Finally, doctors told her the news: Baby Hayes' organs were developing on the outside of his body. The condition, known as an omphalocele, is a birth defect in which the fetus' intestines and other abdominal organs stick out from the belly button. Once we heard the word, 'omphalocele,' it was our world, said Davis, 29, of Texas. A thin membrane that keeps the organs in tact usually covers the omphalocele. While the condition can range in size and severity, the intestines, and sometimes the liver and spleen, protrude outside the baby's body.
Hepatomegaly is swelling of the liver beyond its normal size. If both the liver and spleen are enlarged, it is called hepatosplenomegaly. The lower edge of the liver normally comes just to the lower edge of the ribs on the right side. The edge of the liver is normally thin and firm. It cannot be felt with the fingertips below the edge of the ribs, except when you take a deep breath. It may be enlarged if a health care provider can feel it in this area.
