What are the major differences between omphalocele and umbilical hernia?
Congenital omphalocele is a persistence of the herniation of the abdominal contents into the proximal part of the umbilical cord. Whereas, the umbilical hernia occurs when intestines herniate through the imperfectly closed umbilicus. SIMILARITY: Both herniation occurs thru the umbilicus. DIFFERENCE: In the umbilical hernias, the protruding mass is covered by subcutaneous tissue and skins, whereas in congenital omphalocele it's not.
How is thoracic cavity separated from abdominal cavity?

What is herniation through the cranium called?
Herniation through the cranium is called "brain herniation." This occurs when brain tissue shifts from its normal position due to increased intracranial pressure, often as a result of trauma, tumors, or swelling. The most common types of brain herniation include uncal herniation, tonsillar herniation, and central herniation. Each type can lead to severe neurological deficits and is considered a medical emergency.
What is the difference between a hiatal hernia and an inguinal hernia?
None. But there are two types of inguinal herniae (or hernias): direct and indirect. Direct inguinal hernias occur when abdominal contents herniate through a weak point in the fascia of the abdominal wall and into the inguinal canal. Indirect inguinal hernias occur when abdominal contents protrude through the deep inguinal ring; this is ultimately caused by failure of embryonic closure of the processus vaginalis.
What is the Medical term meaning hernia of the lung?
