    Omphalocele is one of the most common congenital defects in the anterior abdominal wall. The malformation is associated with various pathologies especially with chromosomal disorders. The developmental defect is observed in Congolese hospitals, but risk factors are not well precised on the published case reports, which are more often focused on management. We aim in this paper to make a review on the condition, insisting on the risk factors of omphaloceles mainly of those of genetic origins.
