A  [[hernia]] is present at the site of the [[umbilicus]] (commonly called a navel, or belly button) in the newborn; although sometimes quite large, these hernias tend to resolve without any treatment by around the age of 5 years. Obstruction and strangulation of the hernia is rare because the underlying defect in the abdominal wall is larger than in an [[inguinal hernia]] of the newborn.  
===Neuromuscular===
* Neuromuscular examination of patients with umbilical hernia is usually normal.


Babies are prone to this malformation because of the process during [[fetal development]] by which the abdominal organs form outside the abdominal cavity, later returning into it through an opening which will become the umbilicus.
===Extremities===
* Extermities examination of patients with umbilical hernia is usually normal.
