Abstract
It is apparent that the case presented, with the associated abnormalities which have
been described, falls at a level somewhere between the two extremes of the severe
defects of the abdominal wall described by Potter. The case is presented because of
its interest and the fact that early surgery has been effectual in providing a well
child. It is proposed that the child will be allowed to continue his normal growth
until some time in the future when the abdominal cavity has increased sufficiently
in size so that definitive plastic surgery may be performed to repair the resultant
huge abdominal hernia.
