| description | Ectopia cordis is a rare type of malformation where the heart is not located normally. It may be partially or completely located outside the thoracic cavity and can be associated with other congenital abnormalities. It results from failure of maturation of midline mesoderm and ventral body formation during embryogenic formation. The exact etiology remains unknown. The literature review reveals the prognosis for infants with ectopia cordis is very poor. Here, we are reporting the first case of a fetus that was prenatally diagnosed with ectopia cordis that was associated with omphalocele documented in our country. Considering the poor prognosis for the fetus, conservative management during the prenatal period was chosen. |
