Photos of a baby born with his intestines outside his body have been shared on social media.

According to reports, the baby was delivered in Bashua community, Boki Local Government Area of Cross River state.

It’s been stated that the child suffers from a rare birth defect called “gastroschisis” where the abdominal wall does not form correctly. The baby’s intestines are found outside of the baby’s body, exiting through a hole beside the belly button. The hole can be small or large and sometimes other organs, such as the stomach and liver, can also be found outside of the baby’s body.

Gastroschisis occurs early during pregnancy when the muscles that make up the baby’s abdominal wall do not form correctly.

Treatment involves surgery, this typically occurs shortly after birth, in those with large defects the exposed organs may be covered with a special material and slowly moved back into the abdomen, the condition affects about 4 per 10,000 newborns.

Rates of the condition appear to be increasing
