May be associated with Beckwith wiedmann syndrom

Correct

Beckwith–Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) occurs in 20%–25% of patients with omphalocele. This association is particularly important, since BWS may cause early neonatal hypoglycemia and CNS damage. All patients with omphalocele should therefore undergo close blood-sugar monitoring for 48–72 hours after birth.
