Abstract
A 33-year-old gravida III (para 1, abortion 1, living 1) woman with poor antenatal care delivered a male infant by spontaneous vaginal delivery. The newborn had a live, beating heart protruding through an anterior chest wall defect [Figure 1 and 2]. The baby was noted to be cyanosed with a post-ductal saturation of 70–75% at 30 minutes of life. No other midline defects were identified. Referral to a tertiary facility was immediately arranged for further workup and management. Although vigorous at birth, the baby expired during transport.
