ABSTRACT
A case report of a female newborn with a rare congenital abdominal wall defect associated with intestinal malformation. To our knowledge, only a few case reports of left sided congenital abdominal wall defect with this type of anomalies have been reported in the world literatures and this is the first in Fiji. This case brought numerous challenges to the team in terms of defining the pathology, role of undertaking surgery, providing supportive and nutritional therapy to a neonate and the ethical dilemma with the management in a developing country.
