Abstract

We know as wet navel those which, after the fall of the umbilical cord, presents se- cretion. We can divide the causes of wet navel in infectious (omphalitis) or malfor- mative, due to lack of obliteration of the embryonic structures (persistence of the omphalomesenteric or urachal duct). This article presents a review of the bibliogra- phy of these anomalies due to a case in a newborn in our hospital. It is a preterm newborn of 31 + 4 weeks of gestational age who is admitted to the Neonatal In- tensive Unit Care because of prematurity and respiratory distress. During his hospi- talization we notice a wet umbilical cord secondary to a malformation, whose diag- nosis is not settled down until surgery.
