    Correct answer:

    Yes, it’s gastroschisis.

    A developmental defect in the closure of the abdominal wall; it has been hypothesized that the closure fails because of ischemia in the wall itself. It occurs in about 1 in 5.000 births. Also, there’s an increased risk of infection of the exposed internal organs, so infection prevention is a must.
