Pentalogy of Cantrell
Abstract
Abstract
Ectopia cordis is a rare malformation presenting as an isolated lesion or as part of the Cantrell’s pentalogy syndrome characterized by midline closure defects. A preterm male baby who did not have antenatal follow-up was born by caesarean section with evisceration of the heart and major parts of the intraabdominal organs. Combination of these findings suggested the diagnosis of Cantrell’s pentalogy. Despite intensive care, the patient died soon after the birth due to the poor clinical state. In order to make contribution to literature about this subject, this rare case of neonate with Cantrell’s pentalogy was reported. Antenatal diagnosis, appropriate antenatal care and delivery in a hospital that is capable for treatment is important for a better prognosis.

Özet
Ektopia kordis, izole bir lezyon olarak ya da orta hat kapanma defektleri ile karakterize Cantrell pentalojisinin bir parçası olarak ortaya çıkan nadir bir malformasyondur. Antenatal takibi olmayan preterm bir erkek bebek, kalp ve karın içi organların büyük bir kısmı vücudun dışında bir halde sezaryen ile doğurtuldu. Hastadaki bu bulguların birlikteliği Cantrell pentalojisi tanısını düşündürdü. Yoğun bakım desteğine rağmen klinik durumu kötüleşen hasta doğumundan kısa bir süre sonra kaybedildi. Cantrell pentalojisi tanısı konulan bu nadir yenidoğan vakası konu hakkında literatüre katkı sağlamak amacıyla sunuldu. Antenatal tanı, uygun antenatal bakım ve doğumun tedavi olanakları olan donanımlı bir merkezde yapılması ile prognoz daha iyi olacaktır.
