True congenitalmalformations, that is to say, those resulting from a defect of the embryonic development and not from a foetal disease, are minor forms of the great monstrosities to which they are related by a continuous series of intermediary forms. Normal embryology explains monstrosities and thus malformations; anatomic study and the experi-mental creation of monstrosities allow a better understanding of certain embryogenetic mechanisms.These notions are admitted for the encephalomyelo-dysplasias (Giroud, Martinet and Soleres, 1958), and for malformations of the cephalic extremity, andI have shown that they are also valid for malformations of the caudal extremity (D, uhamel, 1961). Exomphalos belongs to the group of ventral wall malformations that result from a disturbance of the vital mechanism of closing of the body of the embryo. After the initial segmentation and gastrulation stages, the primitive embryo resembles a flat, oval disk (the germinal disk), the dorsal layer of which, the ectoblast, is continuous with the wall of the amniotic vesicle; the ventral layer, the entoblast, is continuous with the wall of the yolk sac (Figs. 1A and 2A).
