gastroschisis

GBK English to Swedish Medical Medical (general)
Definition from WebMD, LLC.:
Gastroschisis is a rare congenital disorder in which a defect is present in the wall of the abdomen. Typically there is a small abdominal cavity with herniated abdominal organs that usually appear on the right side of the abdomen. There is no membranous sac covering the organs and the intestines may be swollen and look shortened due to exposure to the liquid that surrounds the fetus during pregnancy (amniotic fluid).
Example sentences:
In addition, the intestine always fails to fall into its normal position and does not make its normal attachments to the back of the abdomen. In contrast to infants with omphalocele, associated problems are relatively rare in patients with gastroschisis. (American Pediatric Surgical Association)
The diagnosis of gastroschisis is usually made by ultrasound, in many cases following an elevated maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein test in the second trimester. (The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia)
Gastroschisis is an uncommon birth defect, seen in about 1 of 5,000 births. Although about 10% of infants with gastroschisis have an intestinal atresia in which a portion of the intestine does not develop, the defect is rarely associated with other genetic abnormalities. (Cincinnati Children's Hosp. Med. Center)

gastroschis

Även gastroschisis används också på svenska. Det är till och med vanligare på Google (vilket i någon mån beror på engelskspråkiga referenser som nämns på svenska sidor), men Läkartidningene föredrar gastroschis (den enda form som nämns i deras register på http://ltarkiv.lakartidningen.se/keywG.htm och jag tycker då att den är att föredra som en svenskare form.
Definition from Läkartidningen:
Gastroschis är en medfödd paraumbilikal<br />defekt i främre bukväggen som gör<br />att bukorganen prolaberar utanför bukhålan.
Example sentences:
Ibland händer det att det nyfödda barnet har en medfödd klyvning i medellinjen av bukväggen, där tarmen endast delvis tränger utanför (gastroschis), vilket också kräver operation. (Socialstyrelsen)
