abstract：:OEIS is the acronym of a malformations complex association including omphalocele, exstrophy of bladder or cloaca, imperforate anus, and spinal defects. It has a very low prevalence, ranging from 1/82,000 to 1/200,000 live births (LB). The etiology of OEIS is unknown. Virtually all cases are sporadic, and specific asso...
