- Abstract
Objective: Pentalogy of Cantrell is a very rare congenital malformation complex, in which the intrathoracic and intraabdominal organs are completely or partially located outside the body secondary to the thoracoabdominal body wall defects. Case: In this report, a 23 yearold primigravid woman who admitted to our perinatology clinic in the 12th week of her pregnancy was presented. Following the first trimester scanning, the fetus was diagnosed as having a large abdominal defect, an ectopia cordis and club foot. Informed consent was obtained and termination of pregnancy was performed. Conclusion: Neonatal prognosis of the fetuses with Cantrell pentalogy is generally poor and termination of pregnancy should be offered in cases prenatally diagnosed at early weeks.
