Unusual presentation of patent vitello intestinal duct with round worms emerging from the umbilicus.

Patient vitello intestinal duct (VID) is not an uncommon anomaly in children. It usually presents with fecal discharge from the umbilicus. Round worm infestation is very common in Indian children, but an association of patent VID and ascariasis, presenting as round worms emerging from the umbilicus, is unique and has not been previously reported in the literature. We present such a case in a 2-year-old boy who presented with a history of round worms coming out through the umbilicus. It was provisionally diagnosed to be a case of patent VID, which was proven correct on laparotomy.
