Q

Pentalogy of Cantrell

A

Pentalogy of Cantrell (POC) is a collection of five congenital midline birth anomalies heart, pericardium, diaphragm, sternum, and abdominal wall.

It is also referred to as thoracoabdominal ectopia cordis, a condition where the heart is covered by an omphalocele-like membrane. Ectopia cordis (EC) is often found in fetuses with POC.

Infants usually have multiple cardiac malformations with ventricular septal defect, and tetralogy of Fallot being the most common. POC may also carry genetic associations with trisomy 13, 18, 21, and Turner syndrome. The initial management addresses the lack of skin overlying the heart and abdominal cavity.
