“…10 Thoracic and thoracoabdominal EC account for about 85% of the cases. 11 Several congenital cardiac anomalies have been reported to be associated with EC in 82.2% of cases, 12 including ventricular defect and ASD, Ebstein's anomaly, truncus arteriosus, transposition of the great vessels, tetralogy of Fallot, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome. 13 ASD occurred in 53% of the cases.…”

Ectopia cordis (EC) is a rare congenital condition characterized by a partial or complete defect of the anterior chest wall. It is associated with ventricular and atrial septal defects (ASD), Ebstein's anomaly, truncus arteriosus, transposition of the great vessels, tetralogy of Fallot, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome. This study aimed to explore the cardiac manifestations of EC complicated by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). A 23‐year‐old male, born with EC, was admitted to the hospital for acute cough and fever. The patient was diagnosed with EC and ASD by computed tomography and COVID‐19 via a polymerase chain reaction swab test. Patients with ECs rarely survive till adulthood. However, due to the rarity of this syndrome, upon literature review, we did not find a case of EC with concurrent COVID‐19 infection. The patient underwent the required investigations and conventional treatment such as fluid resuscitation, antibiotics administration, and full code cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The interventions performed were unsuccessful, and the patient died. This case demonstrates a patient who lived with EC and its associated cardiac anomalies but died of COVID‐19 and its complications despite full resuscitation attempts. Our findings suggest that patients with EC may survive to adulthood if they have an incomplete EC, fewer intracardiac defects except for ASD, and an absence of an omphalocele.

“…It comprises 0.1% of congenital heart diseases 1. The estimated prevalence of ectopia cordis is 5.5–7.9 per million live births 2 3. Up to 80% of affected fetuses will have associated intracardiac defects, such as ventricular septal defect, tetralogy of Fallot, left ventricular diverticulum, double outlet right ventricle and pulmonary hypoplasia 4–8.…”

“…There are four types: cervical (3%), thoracic (60%), thoracoabdominal (7%) and abdominal (30%) 6 8 14. Thoracic and thoracoabdominal ectopia cordis account for about 85% of the cases 2 3 15. Most of the cases are sporadic and no familial tendency or recurrence has been demonstrated, but thoracoabdominal ectopia cordis has also been reported in twins 15 16.…”

A ‘One in a million’ case of pulsating thoracoabdominal mass

SummaryEctopia cordis is a rare congenital malformation in which the heart is located partially or totally outside the thoracic cavity. It comprises 0.1% of congenital heart diseases. The authors present a case of a male baby born at term by emergency caesarean section due to prolonged fetal bradycardia, who was noted to have a large pulsating mass in the thoracoabdominal area. In view of lower thoracolumbar abdominal defect, ectopic placement of the umbilicus, deficiency of the diaphragmatic pericardium, deficiency of anterior diaphragm and intracardiac abnormalities, a diagnosis of ectopia cordis-Pentalogy of Cantrell was made. He was transferred to a tertiary centre and required oxygen supplement initially. He was sent home after 1 week, on propanolol, with weekly oxygen saturation checks. He is awaiting further surgical intervention pending the required weight gain. BACKGROUND
