Diastasis recti can be diagnosed by physical examination, which may include measuring the distance between the rectus abdominis muscles at rest and during contraction at several levels along the linea alba. [9] Diastasis recti is defined as a gap of about 2.7 cm or greater between the two sides of the rectus abdominis muscle. [1]
McDonough syndrome, also known as Mental retardation, peculiar facies, kyphoscoliosis, diastasis recti, cryptorchidism, and congenital heart defect is a very rare multi-systemic genetic disorder which is characterized by facial dysmorphisms, psychomotor delays, intellectual disabilities, and congenital heart defects.

In pathology, diastasis is the separation of parts of the body that are normally joined, such as the separation of certain abdominal muscles during pregnancy, or of adjacent bones without fracture. [ 1 ]
The linea alba (Latin for: white line) is a strong fibrous midline structure [1] of the anterior abdominal wall [2] situated between the two recti abdominis muscles (one on either side). The umbilicus (navel) is a defect in the linea alba through which foetal umbilical vessels pass before birth. [ 1 ]
Diastasis may refer to: Diastasis (pathology) is the separation of parts of the body that are normally joined, such as the separation of certain abdominal muscles during pregnancy, or of adjacent bones without fracture; Diastasis (physiology) is the middle stage of diastole during the cycle of a heartbeat
An umbilical hernia is a health condition where the abdominal wall behind the navel is damaged. It may cause the navel to bulge outwards—the bulge consisting of abdominal fat from the greater omentum or occasionally parts of the small intestine.
However, other inflammatory conditions, such as lupus, can have a positive anti-NT5C1A. [1] As of 2019, it remains to be established whether a positive anti-NT5C1A antibody test can make muscle biopsy unneeded. [1] Inclusion body myositis MRI. Muscle imaging can help establish the pattern of muscle involvement and selection of a biopsy site. [1]
