“…Using 2D ultrasound in the first trimester, and the adjunctive use of the 3D ultrasound may help to enhance the visualization of the fetal anomalies in different orthogonal planes, even in unfavorable fetal positions. [9] If a diagnosis is made by ultrasound, fetal chromosomal analysis is recommended as associations with Trisomies and Turner syndrome have been reported. [4]…”

A baby with the complete form of pentalogy of Cantrell was delivered at 33 weeks of gestation. The hallmark of this syndrome is ectopia cordis (EC) with omphalocele. Even though a fetal diagnosis was made at 14 weeks, parents have decided to continue with the pregnancy. Early antenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis is essential as survival depends mostly on the EC, associated cardiac anomalies and degree of thoraco-abdominal defect. Fetal diagnosis of this lethal anomaly before viability gives the parents an option of termination.

“…Ultrasound is an invaluable tool for screening and diagnosis of pentallogy of Cantrell, Though 2D ultrasound is as equally efficient as 3D in an early stage of gestation [5]; using 3D ultrasound as adjuvant may help to enhance visualization of fetal anomalies in different orthogonal planes. [10]. Three dimension CT reconstruction is important in structural information, measurements and visualization of critical anatomic details.…”

Pentalogy of Cantrell consists of an extensive defect of the thoraco-abdominal wall, which has nearly always a lethal prognosis. The defect is characterized by the association of five anomalies: omphalocele, cardiac ectopia, absence of the distal portion of the sternum, absence of the anterior diaphragm and absence of the parietal diaphragmatic pericardium. It has a rare frequency of about 5.5 per 1,000,000 live births. There is a common association with intra cardiac anomalies such as ventricular septum defect, tetralogy of Fallot, and transposition of great vessels .The pathogenesis remains unclear. Here we present an imaging findings with antenatal Two Dimensional (2D) and Three Dimensional (3D) ultrasound and fetal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in a 20 weeks of gestation with a multiple anomalies, based on which the diagnosis of complete Pentalogy of Cantrell was given with a brief literature. Post mortem radiography, 3D Computed Tomography (CT) and clinical autopsy were performed additionally to enhance the visualization of fetal anomalies and to confirm the diagnosis.Extensive imaging of cardiac, thoracic and abdominal malformations by ultrasound and MRI is complementary for a clear diagnosis and counseling of the patient.

“…VSD is the most common intracardiac finding while other common cardiac anomalies include ASD and tetralogy of Fallot. This syndrome has prevalence varying between 1:65,000 to 1:200,000 births [3,4]. Although, the pathogenesis is not clear, developmental failure of a segment of the lateral mesoderm and subsequent septum transversum in first month has been hypothesized as an underlying etiology [5].…”

The pentalogy of Cantrell, a rare syndrome, consists of the defects in the anterior diaphragm, diaphragmatic pericardium, lower sternum and supraumbilical abdominal wall, along with congenital cardiac abnormalities. Till date, only few patients with full spectrum of this syndrome have been reported with only 2 cases showing associated exencephaly and spinal dysraphism. We report extremely rare association of complete pentalogy of Cantrell syndrome with exencephaly and spinal dysraphism on antenatal sonogram and autopsy in a 18 weeks fetus of a 19 year-old primi gravida female.
