This is exclusively medical/scientific terminology used by healthcare professionals. It is not part of everyday language in either Brazilian Portuguese or American English. The term is more commonly used in British English medical contexts, while American medicine typically uses the term 'omphalocele' instead. In Brazil, medical professionals may use either the English term or the Portuguese equivalent 'exonfalocele' or 'hérnia umbilical congênita' depending on context.
