Abstract

Cantrell’s pentalogy (CP) is a rare syndrome characterized by defects in the lower sternum with ectopia cordis, anterior diaphragm defects, midline supraumbilical abdominal wall defects, defects in the diaphragmatic pericardium, and congenital heart disease. The authors report a 12-weeks gestation with multiple fetal anomalies suggesting the diagnosis of CP (a large thoraco-abdominal defect with herniating liver and bowel, heart deviated anteriorly with concomitant ventricular septal defect), and the ‘S’ shaped fetal spine due to increased lumbar lordosis and scoliosis with accompanying pes equinovarus deformity. Chorionic villus sampling was performed due to increased nuchal translucency (3.7 mm). The fetal karotype was found to be 47, XX,+21 (trisomy 21). In the literature, three scoliosis cases have been reported accompanying the CP along with multiple anomalies and one concomitant pes equinovarus deformity has been reported previously.
