Introduction: Gastroschisis is a low-prevalence disease with a very good prognosis, if initial management is adequate. This paper attempts to describe the disease and highlight the importance of correct treatment at the primary care level.
Case presentation: Newborn child diagnosed with gastroschisis in a primary care center, referred to the Neonatology Service of a tertiary care institution. He received interdisciplinary management and underwent gradual surgical closure, with favorable outcome after a three-month hospitalization.
Discussion: There is no clarity about the exact cause of gastroschisis, since it is a multifactorial disease. It can be diagnosed during the prenatal stage by means of ultrasonography, which has high sensitivity and specificity for its detection.
Conclusion: Gastroschisis is a disease that requires adequate knowledge from both specialized and primary care personnel, as it ensures a correct initial management and avoids future complications.
