Umbilical fold Median

The median umbilical fold (vesico-umbilical) is a membrane connecting the anterior abdominal wall with the anterior abdominal wall, which is located in the center of the abdomen. It consists of muscles and fascia that form its base.

The median umbilical fold is an important anatomical structure that performs several functions. First, it provides movement to internal organs such as the stomach and intestines, allowing them to move freely in the abdominal cavity. It also plays a role in maintaining the balance of the body, providing stability and stability.

In addition, the median umbilical fold can be damaged as a result of trauma or abdominal surgery. In this case, a hernia may occur, which can lead to serious complications such as intestinal or bladder strangulation.

To avoid complications associated with the median umbilical fold, it is necessary to monitor its condition and consult a doctor if any symptoms appear.



The umbilical-median fold (lat. Plica umbilico-mediana, or lat. Plica media umbilici) is a fold of the internal integument of the abdomen above the navel. Refers to the preperitoneal tissues along with the transverse fascia of the abdomen. Originates in the center of the umbilical ring. The chordae tendineus of the rectus abdominis muscle and the inguinal ligament connect in this area. Laterally it runs from the umbilical fossa to the pubic tubercle. From the anterior dentate line of the chest it is located below, and at the top it passes into the navel area due to the space between the anterior iliac fold and the extreme line of the abdominal wall. It helps keep gases in this area. Umbilical
