ABSTRACT
Vitelline duct anomalies (VDA) are rare complications of persistent omphalomesentric duct or vitelline duct connecting the developing embryo with the yolk sac. VDA can be asymptomatic (detected incidentally) or symptomatic, most common of which is Meckel's diverticulum. A patent vitelline duct is the. most common symptomatic presentation in African children and we present here a four day old neonate with patent vitelline duct with ileal prolapse. The neonate was operated with the patent vitelline duct and gangrenous ileum resected and end to end ileal anastomosis done.
