Pentalogy of cantrell: a case report
Journal Title: Dokuz Eylul Universitesi Tip Fakultesi Dergisi - Year 2019, Vol 33, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Pentalogy of Cantrell is a congenital malformation syndrome characterized by midline thoracoabdominal wall defect, intracardiac anomalies, sternum lower end defect, absence of pericardium on diapraghma side and diapraghma defects.Case Report: In this article, we report a case of prenatal diagnosed Cantrell Pentalogy in 20th gestational weeks. Conclusion: The ethiology of Cantrell syndrome is not certain yet, but probably the syndrome occurs due to the insufficient migration of intraembryonic mesoderm to ventromedialis. Thoracoabdominal type ectopia cordis, one of five different ectopia cordis types, is frequently found in the components of Cantrell pentalogy.
