My little cousin was born with this condition. No one really knows the cause of it, but it happened. She had 2 surgeries immediately after birth to tuck the intestines back in, she had to stay in the hospital for the first 2 months of her life, but then she got to go home. She is 4.5 years old now and in her first 2 years of life had some intestinal blockages that hospitalized her and took some more surgeries to correct, during this they also fixed her belly button to make it look normal. She hasn't had issues for over 2 years now, but everyone always has to observe her for any symptoms that may signal another blockage (major lack of appetite, hard stools, belly aches, etc.). She did have a lot of problems learning to potty train for bowel movements, but other then that she's a perfectly normal, happy, healthy child.
