Abstract
Ventricular diverticulum in association with exomphalos is rare. It is usually accompanied by split sternum, anterior pericardial and diaphragmatic defects and intracardiac abnormalities. This paper reports a neonate who presented with exomphalos and was noted to have a pulsating vessel, on the superior margin of the sac, which proved to be a left ventricular diverticulum. The successful correction is described.
