Rapid diagnosis of omphalitis is important as it will speed up access to the treatment. The delay in diagnosis causes the lesion to progress and become complex. Nowadays there are different applications that can be used in the diagnosis of omphalitis. It is important to define the standard way to follow in the diagnosis and treatment of omphalitis. Although the evaluation of external clinical findings in the periumbilical region is of great importance, it is difficult to reach the condition of intra-abdominal remnants by examining external clinical findings. Although USG appears to be the gold standard in imaging intraabdominal lesions, it is not true for the omphalophlebitis. Infield conditions where USG is not available, the clinician needs more findings to strengthen his hand. In addition to the emphasis on the importance of the use of USG images and routine external clinical findings of omphalitis, it is thought that some non-routine external clinical findings may also help in the diagnosis of the disease. In addition to USG and external clinical findings, non-routine findings are also interpreted by the authors, and observations and recommendations regarding the diagnosis process are shared in this paper.
