Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The small omphalocele that can be seen on the ultrasound scan is a normal developmental process in all the babies. Usually it reduces spontaneously by 12 weeks. If it persists, then it is pathological.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
