“…It is believed that errors in the early embryonic development of the mesoderm occurring between the 14th and 18th days of gestation result in PC. Pentalogy of Cantrell can be caused by vascular dysplasia, as well as mechanical teratogens, genetic mutations or a viral infection in the first trimester of pregnancy [4]. Some PC cases have been reported in the consanguineous parents [5].…”
Recognition and diagnosis of the syndrome is of the exceptional importance. Proper and timely diagnosis should contribute to good outcome of the pregnancy and delivery.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
